EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri, titled "Japanese Shinto Fortune Teller," is an intriguing glimpse into the cultural practices of Japan during the mid-19th century. The image depicts a Japanese Shinto fortune teller, dressed in traditional attire, addressing a rapt crowd of men with shaved heads and the distinctive chonmage hairstyle. This hairstyle, characterized by a topknot and shaved sides, was a sign of religious devotion and was commonly worn by samurai and monks. The fortune teller, with a serious expression and outstretched arms, appears to be imparting wisdom and guidance to his audience. The setting is a Shinto shrine, as evidenced by the ornate gate and the traditional torii gate in the background. Shinto is an ancient religion practiced in Japan, which emphasizes the connection between the natural world and the kami, or gods. Fortune telling was an integral part of Shinto practices, and fortune tellers were often consulted for guidance on various aspects of life, from business decisions to personal relationships. This engraving is from Giulio Ferrrario's "Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples," published in Florence in 1842. Ferrrario was a renowned anthropologist and ethnographer, and his work was influential in the study of the customs, manners, and racial types of various peoples around the world. This image offers a fascinating window into the religious and cultural practices of Japan during a time of significant change and interaction with the Western world.
