EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-151936-0000" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Nagasaki during the late 19th century. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with Western people, parked rickshaws, and an intriguing photo shop named "T. Shirayama". The year range provided for this photograph is between 1885 and 1895, offering a glimpse into Japan's modern history during the era of rapid industrialization and cultural exchange. The presence of Western individuals in Nagasaki signifies the influence of global trade on this port city. The street itself is teeming with activity as locals and foreigners alike go about their daily lives. Rickshaws line the sidewalks, serving as a popular mode of transportation at that time. These human-powered carriages were commonly used by both residents and visitors to navigate through the busy urban landscape. Intriguingly, we see a prominent business sign for T. Shirayama's photo shop in the background. This establishment likely catered to both locals and tourists seeking mementos or portraits capturing their experiences in Nagasaki. The architectural elements surrounding this street scene reflect a blend of Japanese aesthetics with influences from Portuguese colonial empire architecture prevalent during that period. Through this remarkable photograph captured by Yokohama School (attr. ), we gain insight into not only transportation methods but also glimpses into different cultures coexisting within Nagasaki's diverse population. It serves as a valuable historical document shedding light on anthropology, ethnography, folklore while providing us with an evocative view of life in one corner of Japan during its transformative years.
