EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Women instead of men, to Japan" by Achille Beltrame takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases a crowd of women gathered around an aspiring tram, eagerly vying for the opportunity to be chosen as one of the select few. In this European-style uniform imposed on the elected ones, we witness a fusion of cultures and traditions. Transporting us to 1925, when travel and technology were rapidly progressing, this photograph symbolizes both progress and patriotism. As these ticketed women prepare to embark on their journey, an official officer stands nearby ensuring order and safety. Amidst the hustle and bustle, it is impossible not to notice the juxtaposition between traditional Japanese clothing such as kimonos worn by some women and the European influence reflected in their uniforms. This blend represents a harmonious coexistence between different cultures. The presence of police officers signifies that this event was sanctioned with penalties for non-compliance. It also highlights how public transport played a crucial role in shaping society during that era. In this crowded scene filled with anticipation, we catch glimpses of children accompanying their mothers or perhaps witnessing this historic moment themselves. Their innocence adds charm and reminds us that progress affects all generations. This remarkable print offers insight into Japanese culture at that time while celebrating diversity through its portrayal of Asian individuals alongside Europeans. It serves as a testament to our shared humanity across borders despite our differences - truly capturing the essence of unity within diversity.
