EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Japan, circa 1912, specifically Matomachi Street in Kobe. The image, captured by an anonymous Japanese photographer from the 20th century and now part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the rich history of this bustling Asian city. Matomachi Street is beautifully depicted with its vibrant atmosphere and unique architectural charm. This particular photograph was used as an illustration for "Selected Pictures of Mikados Empire" serving as a fine souvenir for visitors to Japan during that era. It has been meticulously hand-colored, adding depth and vibrancy to the scene. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot, we are transported to a world where early 20th-century Japan comes alive. The sight of locals going about their daily lives on Matomachi Street provides valuable insight into the cultural fabric of this fascinating country. The significance of this photo lies not only in its historical value but also in its ability to evoke nostalgia and curiosity about life in Kobe over a century ago. It serves as a reminder that even though times change and cities evolve, there will always be glimpses into our past that allow us to connect with our roots. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we can appreciate and cherish these timeless treasures from around the globe without leaving our homes.
