EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of Kyoto, Japan in 1904. The image captures the mid-summer traffic under the awnings of Shiro-bashidori, a vibrant thoroughfare that was teeming with activity. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are immersed in a scene filled with movement and life. The street is alive with people going about their daily routines - men, women, and children all navigating their way through the busy road. A young boy catches our eye as he walks alongside his father, both dressed in traditional Japanese attire. They blend seamlessly into the tapestry of pedestrians that fill every inch of available space. Rickshaws can be seen gliding along the avenue, transporting passengers to their destinations amidst the hustle and bustle. These human-powered carriages were an integral part of transportation during this era and add an extra layer of charm to this already captivating scene. The awnings overhead provide some respite from the summer sun as they cast shadows on those below. This monochrome photograph beautifully captures these contrasting shades while preserving every intricate detail for future generations to admire. As we study this remarkable piece from The Underwood Travel Library - Japan collection by Underwood & Underwood, it serves as a window into a bygone era – a testament to how much has changed over time yet reminding us that even amidst progress, certain aspects remain timeless.
