EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating image from the Meiji era of Japan, circa 1870s-1890s, showcases the serene beauty of Lake Hakone's shoreline. In the foreground, a man in traditional Japanese attire stands near a kago, a vintage sedan chair, and two torii poles. The sedan chair, a grand historical tool for transporting the elite, is adorned with intricate designs and vibrant colors, contrasting the natural surroundings. The tranquil lake, dotted with small islands and surrounded by lush trees, reflects the clear blue sky with fluffy white clouds. The ocean's gentle waves lapping against the sandy beach add to the peaceful ambiance. The man, likely a porter, holds a rod to support the sedan chair, while another pole is planted in the sand to stabilize it. This vintage photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, when travel was an adventure and the outdoors served as a popular vacation destination. The scene exudes an air of nostalgia and grandeur, transporting us back in time to a place where nature and tradition intertwined. Lake Hakone, located in the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, has been a popular resort area since ancient times. Its scenic beauty, hot springs, and accessibility from Tokyo have made it a favorite among tourists and locals alike. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of this region, which continues to attract visitors from around the world.
