EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "The Manners and Customs of the Police of Japan" offers a fascinating glimpse into 19th-century Japanese law enforcement. The artwork, created by an English School artist in 1894, showcases various scenes depicting the unique customs and practices of Japanese policemen. In this detailed illustration, we see a bustling main street where police officers diligently maintain order and administer justice. A Russian bluejacket is distinctly employed to prevent any annoyance or disturbance among the crowd. To ensure safe delivery, boats transport passengers along the tranquil waters while toy men carry out their duties on shore. One striking element is the presence of a Japanese policeman wielding a shortened billiard cue as his staff. This unusual choice highlights both their authority and resourcefulness in maintaining peace within their communities. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Japanese culture through intricate details such as traditional houses lining the streets and individuals dressed in customary attire. These elements provide viewers with a deeper understanding of Japan's rich heritage during this period. "The Manners and Customs of the Police of Japan" serves as not only an artistic masterpiece but also an educational tool that sheds light on historical Asian customs. It stands as a testament to Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving works of art that offer valuable insights into different cultures around the world.
