EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Finishing Touches, c1887" we are transported back in time to witness the meticulous craftsmanship and teamwork of two Japanese artisans. Taken from Mortimer L Menpes' book "Japan - A Record in Colour" published in 1901 by Adam & Charles Black, this image captures a moment of intense concentration and skill. The scene unfolds inside an elegant interior, where one man kneels before a traditional Japanese screen adorned with vibrant flags representing their country. The room is filled with tools and materials that speak to the dedication and expertise required for their craft. Both men are fully absorbed in their work, exemplifying the pride they take in their occupation. Their partnership is evident as they collaborate on perfecting every detail, ensuring that each stroke adds depth and beauty to their creation. This photograph not only showcases the artistry of these craftsmen but also provides us with a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage during the late 19th century. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of traditional craftsmanship passed down through generations. Mortimer L Menpes masterfully captures this moment, immortalizing it within his publication for all to appreciate. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but admire the dedication and talent displayed by these skilled individuals who have left an indelible mark on history.
