EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "AVQ-A-000783-0011" takes us on a mesmerizing journey back in time to the late 19th century. The image captures a road nestled within the renowned red-light district of Yoshiwara, Tokyo - an area known as yukkaku. As we delve into this snapshot from history, our eyes are immediately drawn to the architectural elements that line both sides of the road. Traditional Japanese buildings with their distinct roofs and intricate designs stand tall, exuding an air of mystery and allure. The landscape surrounding the road is equally enchanting. Lush vegetation frames the scene, with trees reaching towards the sky. Among them stands a majestic cherry tree adorned with delicate blossoms - perhaps symbolizing both beauty and transience. In this bustling district, female figures can be seen strolling along the road. Their presence adds another layer of intrigue to this already captivating composition. Each woman's portrait tells a story - one filled with resilience or longing; dreams or sacrifices. Yokohama School's artistic prowess shines through in this remarkable photograph from their collection attributed to them by Alinari. Through their lens, they have managed to capture not only physical structures but also intangible emotions that permeate these streets. Transported back in time by this evocative image dating between 1880-1890, we find ourselves immersed in an era long gone yet still alive within these monochrome tones. It serves as a reminder of how landscapes change over time while human desires remain constant throughout history. This print offers us a glimpse into Tokyo's past - its architecture, landscapes rich with symbolism, and stories woven amidst its vibrant streetscape – all frozen forever within Yokohama School's masterful frame.
