EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Japanese Travellers, c. 1880" takes us back in time to the enchanting world of Meiji-era Japan. Captured by renowned photographer Kimbei Kusakabe, this image showcases a group of Japanese women dressed in traditional kimonos, exuding grace and femininity. The hand-colored photograph beautifully highlights the intricate details of their attire, from the vibrant patterns on their dresses to the delicate folds of their parasols. Each woman carries herself with poise and elegance as they embark on a journey through Yokohama. One cannot help but be drawn to the central figure - a young woman confidently holding a cigarette between her fingers. This unexpected element adds an intriguing touch to the composition, challenging societal norms and offering a glimpse into the evolving roles of women during that era. The backdrop chosen for this studio portrait further enhances its allure. With its serene landscape featuring cherry blossoms and distant mountains, it transports us to a dreamlike realm where tradition meets modernity. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of both the timeless beauty found within Japanese culture and how photography has served as a powerful medium for capturing moments that transcend generations.
