EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "AVQ-A-000783-0080" we are transported back in time to the late 19th or early 20th century, immersing ourselves in the rich cultural heritage of Japan. The image showcases two men donned in traditional Japanese clothing, exuding an air of elegance and grace. Leading an ox that effortlessly pulls a cart behind them, these men epitomize the essence of farming and country life during this era. Their attire reflects a deep connection to their roots, as they proudly wear garments steeped in tradition and history. The ox itself stands as a symbol of strength and resilience, embodying the hardworking spirit necessary for agricultural endeavors. As it dutifully carries the cart laden with farm produce or other goods, it becomes clear that these men rely on such animals as vital companions in their daily lives. The photograph captures not only the practical aspects of farming but also offers us glimpses into various cultural elements present at that time. From headdresses adorning their heads to accessories complementing their outfits, every detail speaks volumes about fashion and clothing choices prevalent during this period. This portrait by Yokohama School (attr. ) is more than just a snapshot frozen in time; it serves as a window into Japan's past—a testament to its people's dedication to preserving traditions while embracing progress. It invites us to reflect on our own connections with nature, agriculture, and our ancestral heritage. As we admire this mesmerizing print from Alinari's collection without considering any commercial use implications or focusing on the company behind it—we can't help but be captivated by its beauty—and find ourselves longing for further exploration into Japan's vibrant history.
