EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Citizens of Tokyo, Japan, 1895" takes us back to the vibrant streets of late 19th century Tokyo. The image is a group portrait showcasing the diverse traditional costumes worn by the Japanese people during that era. The citizens depicted in this engraving are captured in full length, allowing us to admire their intricate attire and unique accessories. Their direct gazes reveal a sense of pride and confidence as they stand together for this momentous occasion. Published as part of "The Universal Geography with Illustrations and Maps" by Elisee Reclus in 1895, this print offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan. It transports us to a time when Tokyo was still known as Edo and serves as a testament to its transformation over centuries. Through this monochrome portrayal, we can appreciate the attention to detail given to each individual's dress, reflecting not only their personal style but also regional influences from Musashi Province. This snapshot freezes an entire nation's fashion history within its frame. As we observe these Japanese citizens frozen in time, we are reminded of the beauty found within diversity. This print stands as both an artistic masterpiece and historical document - capturing an important moment in Japan's past while offering endless inspiration for future generations.
