EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Customary Greeting in Japan, 1907" takes us back to a bygone era when tradition and respect were paramount. The image showcases a Japanese man and woman dressed in exquisite traditional costumes engaging in a customary greeting. With hands clasped together, they bow gracefully as they exchange the phrase "Konnichi Wa, yoi tenki desu" which translates to "Hello, today is a fine day". Part of the renowned Greetings of the World series produced by Hignett Bros. Imperial Tobacco Company, this vintage cigarette card captures not only the beauty of Japanese culture but also emphasizes the importance placed on proper etiquette and manners during that time. The intricate details of their attire reflect the rich heritage and deep-rooted traditions of Japan. Every fold and pattern on their kimonos tells a story, while their respectful posture symbolizes humility and honor. In an age where technology dominates our interactions, this photograph serves as a gentle reminder of simpler times when human connection was cherished above all else. It transports us to an era where formalities were observed with utmost sincerity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the universal value placed on respect and courtesy across cultures throughout history.
