EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Vision of Tradition: A Japanese Lady in Kimono and Parasol (circa 1890s)" This evocative lantern slide captures an image of a graceful Japanese woman dressed in the traditional kimono, adorned with intricate red floral patterns against a pristine white background. The late 19th century, a period of significant cultural exchange between the East and the West, is reflected in the image through the lady's elegant attire and the use of a parasol for protection from the sun. The kimono, a traditional Japanese garment, is a two-piece outfit consisting of a wide-sleeved robe (uwagi) and a shorter inner robe (neshiki). The red floral pattern on the kimono represents the beauty and vibrancy of nature, while the white color symbolizes purity and simplicity. The parasol, held in her hand, is a common accessory used by Japanese women to shield themselves from the sun and rain. The lantern slide, part of the Boswell Collection, Box 157, slide no. 43, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the late 1800s. The image not only showcases the elegance and sophistication of Japanese traditional attire but also serves as a window into the past, providing us with a deeper understanding of the customs and traditions of Japan during this period. The intricate details of the kimono's design, the delicate folds of the fabric, and the lady's poised demeanor all contribute to the overall beauty and allure of this image. This lantern slide is a valuable historical resource, offering a glimpse into the past and providing us with a deeper appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of Japan.
