EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken in Japan during the late 19th century, depicts two young women engaging in a tranquil moment of reading and staying warm. The scene unfolds beneath a traditional kotatsu table, a Japanese heating device commonly used during the colder months. The women are wrapped in blankets, huddled around the stove, as they focus intently on their books. Their casual attire, consisting of kimonos and robes, adds to the authenticity of the era, which is further emphasized by their intricately styled hair. This image offers a glimpse into the daily life of Japanese women during the Meiji period (1868-1912), a time of significant cultural and social change. The atmosphere is both intimate and inviting, transporting us back to a simpler time. The vintage aesthetic, reminiscent of the 1880s and 1890s, adds to the overall charm and allure of this photograph.
