EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-151945-0000" takes us back in time to the intriguing world of young Japanese playing cards. Captured between 1860 and 1870, this image showcases a scene filled with youthful energy and cultural significance. In this snapshot of history, we witness a group of individuals engrossed in an intense game of chance. The intelligence and patience required for such games are evident on their focused faces. Each player is adorned in traditional attire, showcasing the intricate details of Japan's fashion and clothing during that era. The photograph not only captures their physical appearance but also provides insights into their psychological aspects. Their expressions reveal a mix of concentration, excitement, and perhaps even hints of friendly competition among them. Amidst the game-playing atmosphere, elements from nature surround these young players. Flowers and vegetation add a touch of natural beauty to the scene while symbolizing growth and youthfulness. Additionally, fans held by some participants serve as both accessories and practical tools to combat the warm climate. As we delve deeper into this historical moment frozen in time by Yokohama School (attr. ), we gain glimpses into Japan's modern history – its people, territories, customs, traditions – all preserved within this single frame. This print becomes more than just an object; it transforms into a portal through which we can explore anthropology, ethnography, folklore - unearthing stories from generations past. "FVQ-F-151945-0000" invites us to reflect on the interplay between tradition and progress while celebrating the vibrant spirit captured within each individual present here. It serves as a testament to our shared human experience across different cultures throughout history.
