EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness the arduous yet essential task of rice cultivation in Japan. The image showcases a farmer diligently plowing a rice cultivation ground, his weathered face reflecting years of hard work and dedication to his craft. The scene is set against the picturesque backdrop of Hakone, with its rolling hills and lush greenery. It is evident that this snapshot was taken between 1870-1890, as indicated by the date of the photograph. The simplicity and authenticity captured by the unidentified author allow us to immerse ourselves fully into this moment frozen in time. As our eyes wander across the frame, we notice an ox pulling a traditional farm vehicle equipped with a plow instrument. This symbiotic relationship between man and beast highlights not only their reliance on one another but also their deep connection to nature's rhythms. Rice, being one of Japan's staple crops, holds immense cultural significance for its people. Its cultivation requires meticulous attention to detail and unwavering patience – qualities embodied by this diligent farmer tending to his land. This print offers more than just a glimpse into rural life; it provides insight into Japanese history, anthropology, ethnography, folklore – all encapsulated within this single frame. We catch a glimpse of Japanese peasant life during this period while gaining an understanding of Asiatic populations' way of living. As we admire this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection without any commercial intent or mention thereof let us appreciate how it serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact - preserving moments like these for generations to come.
