EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this print from 1904, we are transported to a serene summer evening at a hotel in Hiroshima, Japan. The artist duo Underwood & Underwood skillfully portrays the atmosphere of this intimate mealtime scene. The image showcases a group of guests enjoying their dinner inside the hotel's elegant interior. Dressed in traditional Japanese attire, both men and women sit cross-legged on the floor, their kimono and loincloth adding vibrant splashes of color to the monochrome setting. With legs crossed gracefully, they engage in conversation while savoring their delicious meal. A sense of tranquility is palpable as one woman gazes thoughtfully at her plate while another watches attentively from behind an intricately designed screen. The attention to detail captures not only the beauty of these individuals but also highlights the architectural grandeur of the building itself. This photograph provides us with a glimpse into early 20th-century Japan - its customs, clothing styles, and dining traditions. It serves as a testament to both cultural heritage and artistic craftsmanship. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time by Underwood & Underwood, we can't help but appreciate how it allows us to connect with history through visual storytelling.
