EDITORS COMMENTS
an intriguing photograph from the late 1870s, captures a unique moment in the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures. The image is taken from "Illustrated Travels" by H.W. Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. The photograph features a Japanese governor, dressed in traditional clothing, paying respect to an unidentified European man, likely a diplomat or traveler. The European man, dressed in Western attire, is depicted on horseback, while the Japanese governor bows in a show of respect. The scene takes place outdoors, with a serene countryside backdrop, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. The Japanese governor's clothing is a striking contrast to the European man's outfit. He wears a long, flowing robe, tied with a sash, and a wide-brimmed hat adorned with a feather. The governor's posture is formal and respectful, as he bows deeply to the European visitor. The European man, in turn, wears a suit and hat, typical of European fashion during the 19th century. The photograph is a testament to the cultural exchange that took place between Japan and Europe during this period. The image is also a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and customs of the time, showcasing the blend of traditional and modern clothing. Overall, "A Japanese Governor: A European Sojourn in Japan" is a captivating photograph that transports us to a bygone era and offers a glimpse into the rich history of Japan's interaction with the Western world.
