EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "AVQ-A-004838-0089" we are transported back in time to the late 19th century, immersing ourselves in the rich cultural heritage of Japan. The image beautifully captures a group of young Japanese women enjoying their lunch, each delicately holding a bowl filled with steaming rice. The date on the photograph indicates that it was taken between 1890 and 1899, offering us a glimpse into an era when traditional customs and clothing were still prevalent. Dressed in exquisite costumes that reflect the fashion trends of that period, these women exude grace and elegance as they partake in this daily ritual. As we delve deeper into the image, our attention is drawn to the various cooking tools and kitchenwares surrounding them. These utensils serve as silent witnesses to centuries-old culinary traditions passed down through generations. They symbolize not only nourishment but also a connection to ancestral roots and communal ties. This portrait provides valuable insights into Japanese anthropology, ethnography, folklore, and even dietary habits. It offers glimpses into Asiatic populations' way of life during this particular historical moment while highlighting rice's significance as a staple food for many cultures across Asia. Although we cannot identify the author behind this mesmerizing piece from Alinari's collection, its timeless beauty transcends any specific attribution or commercial use. Instead, it invites us to appreciate the artistry captured within its frame—a testament to both human creativity and cultural diversity throughout history.
