EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Two women in the rain" transports us back to a rainy day in Japan between 1925 and 1936. Created by the talented artist Koson Ohara, this colour woodcut captures a serene moment amidst the downpour. In this image, we see two young Japanese women gracefully walking through puddles with their umbrellas held high. Their traditional kimonos cling to their bodies as they navigate the wet streets with elegance and poise. The vibrant colours used in this woodcut bring life to the scene, contrasting beautifully against the gray backdrop of rain. The attention to detail is remarkable; from their stylish geta shoes that protect them from soaking feet to the delicate parasols shielding them from water droplets. It's fascinating how even during inclement weather, these women exude an air of sophistication. As we gaze at this artwork, we can almost feel the cool mist on our skin and hear the rhythmic pitter-patter of raindrops hitting pavement. This piece not only showcases Koson Ohara's artistic skill but also provides insight into Japanese culture and fashion during that era. Displayed proudly at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, this timeless masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and charm. It serves as a reminder that even amidst stormy weather, there is still grace and tranquility waiting to be discovered if one takes time for a leisurely stroll in nature's embrace.
