This print titled "Kobe animated street in Japan" takes us back in time to the late 19th century, specifically between 1870 and 1880. The image showcases a bustling urban scene that encapsulates the essence of Kobe's vibrant streets during this period. The first thing that catches our attention is a prominent business sign, indicating the presence of commerce and trade on this lively street. It serves as a reminder of the city's economic significance at that time. As we explore further, we notice various elements that contribute to the overall charm of this snapshot. The exterior furnishings for civic spaces are meticulously arranged, adding an element of sophistication to the surroundings. Lamp posts and power lines stretch across the sky, symbolizing progress and modernization within Kobe's architecture. Amidst these structures stands a traditional Japanese house with its distinct architectural style. Its presence reminds us of Japan's rich cultural heritage blending harmoniously with modern developments. Umbrellas can be seen scattered throughout the photograph, serving both as practical accessories protecting pedestrians from rain or sun while also adding splashes of color to an otherwise monochromatic scene. Transportation plays a crucial role in capturing daily life during this era. A rickshaw carrying passengers signifies one popular mode of transport at that time – providing insight into how people moved around their cityscape. As we take in all these details, it becomes evident that this print by Yokohama School (attr. ) is not just about documenting history but also offers glimpses into anthropology, ethnography, folklore - showcasing aspects related to peoples' lives and territories during this transformative period. Overall, this image allows us to travel back in time and immerse ourselves in Kobe's animated streetscape – witnessing its growth as a significant hub while appreciating its unique blend of tradition and progress.
