EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of 1860s Japan as depicted by the renowned Italian-British photographer Felice or Felix Beato. The young woman in the image, elegantly dressed in traditional Japanese attire, holds a parasol to shield herself from the sun. Beato, who worked extensively in Asia during the 1860s and 1870s, expertly captures the intricate details of the woman's kimono, obi, and hairdo. The parasol, a popular accessory during the Meiji Era, adds a touch of sophistication to her outfit. The use of the wet collodion process, a common technique during the 19th century, enhances the vividness and depth of the image. This photograph is a testament to Beato's skill in capturing the beauty and culture of Japan during a time of significant change, as the country transitioned from the Shogun to the Imperial era. The image provides a glimpse into the lives of Japanese women during this period, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the rich history and traditions of Japan.
