EDITORS COMMENTS
Two young Japanese women immersed in a game, capturing the essence of tradition and relaxation. This photo print, AVQ-A-000050-0024, taken around 1890 by the School of Yokohama, transports us back to a time when games were cherished pastimes. In this snapshot frozen in history, these graceful ladies engage in a spirited game of checkers. Their focused expressions reveal their determination to outwit each other while enjoying moments of leisure. The scene is adorned with intricate details that reflect the cultural richness of Japan. Dressed in traditional costumes that epitomize elegance and grace, these women showcase the timeless beauty of Japanese fashion and clothing. Their hairdos are meticulously styled with utmost precision, highlighting their commitment to personal grooming and hygiene beauty treatments. This portrait not only captures physical attributes but also delves into physiological and psychological aspects. It offers insights into individual personalities as they strategize moves on an exquisite pillow-adorned board. Through this image, we witness how games can transcend mere entertainment by providing mental stimulation and fostering social connections. Beyond its anthropological significance lies a deeper exploration into the diversity among Asiatic populations. As we delve into anthropology, ethnography, folklore - we uncover layers that celebrate different cultures' unique traditions and identities. Alinari's remarkable print allows us to appreciate this historical gem without commercial intentions or associations with any company. Instead, it invites us to immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of Japanese heritage through two young women engrossed in a simple yet profound moment shared over a game.
