EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1890, offers a glimpse into the daily life of Japan during the Meiji period (1868-1912). The image features a row of young Japanese girls, dressed in traditional kimonos, seated comfortably in rickshaws, their faces expressing a range of emotions from curiosity to contentment. The rickshaws, pulled by unseen men, are a common mode of transportation for the Japanese populace at the time, particularly for women and the elderly. The girls' attire reflects the changing social dynamics of Japan during the late 19th century. While the traditional kimono remained the national dress, Western influence began to seep in, as evidenced by the girls' accessories such as Western-style hats and parasols. The juxtaposition of the traditional and the modern is a testament to Japan's unique ability to absorb and adapt to external influences while preserving its cultural identity. The photograph also provides a window into the social structure of Japan during this era. The girls are likely from the middle or upper classes, as only the affluent could afford to hire rickshaws for leisurely outings. The scene exudes an air of leisure and relaxation, with the girls seemingly enjoying the ride and the opportunity to be out in public. The photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era in Japanese history, a time when traditional customs and Western influences coexisted, and when the simple pleasure of a ride in a rickshaw was a luxury worth savoring.
