EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this print captured by the talented Beato Felice between 1865 and 1870. Transported to an era of rich cultural heritage, we find ourselves immersed in a scene that beautifully encapsulates the essence of traditional Japan. In this portrait, two young Japanese women are engrossed in a parlour game, their faces alight with excitement and anticipation. Dressed in exquisite traditional clothing, they kneel gracefully on the ground while two men observe their every move. The intricate details of their garments reflect the fashion and clothing trends prevalent during that period. The image evokes curiosity about the nature of the game being played - whether it tests chance, intelligence or patience remains a mystery to us. Nevertheless, it offers a glimpse into leisure activities cherished by past generations and reminds us of how games can bring people together across cultures and time. Beato Felice's masterful composition not only captures human interaction but also provides insights into broader aspects of society. The presence of objects such as pipes and small baskets adds depth to our understanding of daily life during this historical period. This photograph serves as more than just an artistic portrayal; it is a valuable anthropological artifact shedding light on ethnic traditions within Japan's modern history. It invites contemplation on topics ranging from population demographics to national identity. As we admire this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, let us appreciate its significance beyond commercial use – for it tells stories woven through threads of culture, tradition, and shared experiences that transcend time itself.
