EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Beato Felice, titled "MFC-A-004626-0032" offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the late 19th century. The full-length portrait showcases a Japanese woman surrounded by her children, capturing a tender moment within this traditional family setting. The mother and her young daughter are adorned in exquisite kimonos, symbolizing their adherence to customary attire. Standing at the center of the portrait, the mother holds an open umbrella gracefully in her right hand, adding an elegant touch to the composition. Meanwhile, seated on a rock is her son dressed as a samurai, showcasing his connection to Japan's warrior history. The photograph was taken between 1865 and 1870 when Japan was undergoing significant societal changes due to its modernization efforts. This image serves as both a historical document and an exploration of social dynamics within Japanese society during that period. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print also provides valuable insights into various aspects of Japanese culture. It highlights traditional clothing such as kimonos and wooden shoes worn by different family members. Additionally, it features accessories like umbrellas that were not only practical but also served as status symbols. Beato Felice's work transcends mere documentation; it delves into anthropology and ethnography by capturing glimpses of everyday life among Asiatic populations like those found in Japan. Through his lens, he immortalizes moments that reflect both individual identities and collective nationalities. As we admire this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, let us appreciate how photography can preserve history while simultaneously celebrating diversity across nations and peoples without commercial intent or mention thereof.
