In this print titled "AVQ-A-001697-0038" we are transported back in time to witness a scene of traditional Japanese agriculture. The image showcases the diligent efforts of a humble Japanese peasant as he prepares an aqueous soil for cultivating rice. Taken between 1895 and 1905, during a period when Japan was undergoing rapid modernization, this photograph offers us a glimpse into the country's rich farming heritage. The farmer can be seen meticulously plowing the field with his trusty horse and farm vehicles, using an instrument that has been passed down through generations. The landscape surrounding the farmer is breathtakingly serene, capturing the essence of rural life in Japan at that time. It portrays vast farmland countryside with swamps dotting the horizon, creating a picturesque backdrop for this hardworking individual. This image not only highlights the beauty of nature but also provides insights into Japanese culture and society during this era.
