EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "AVQ-A-000837-0017" takes us on a journey back in time to the late 19th century in Japan. The image showcases an itinerant seller of rice and tea, immersed in his trade amidst a backdrop of commerce and trade. The date of the photograph is estimated to be between 1890 and 1900, capturing a pivotal period in Japanese history. The subject's traditional attire reflects the fashion and clothing trends prevalent during that era, providing us with valuable insights into the culture and customs of ancient populations. In this portrait, we see a male figure who exudes strength and resilience as he stands proudly beside his wares. His weathered face tells tales of hard work and dedication to his craft. Behind him lies an array of kitchenwares including cups, teapots, symbolizing not only his occupation but also highlighting the importance of diet in Japanese society. Rice takes center stage here as one can almost feel its solid presence emanating from sacks surrounding our protagonist. Rice has long been considered a staple food for the people of Japan; it represents sustenance, nourishment, and unity within communities. This remarkable print was captured by Kusakabe Kimbei or attributed to him - an acclaimed photographer known for documenting various aspects of Japanese life during this transformative period. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the rich tapestry that makes up Japan's cultural heritage. As we admire this historical artifact from Alinari's collection without mentioning commercial use or any specific company associated with it let us appreciate its significance as both artistry frozen in time and as a window into humanity's past.
