EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling streets of Japan in the 1920s with this print captured by Grenville Collins. Two Japanese women are seen gracefully getting into their rickshaws, a common mode of transportation during that era. The intricate details of the rickshaws are truly fascinating - from the two-wheeled design to the doorless, chairlike body and collapsible hood. The women are dressed in traditional Japanese attire, adding an extra layer of authenticity to this snapshot of history. As one woman crouches down, allowing herself to climb into her designated rickshaw, the other is already comfortably seated inside hers. A man stands ready at the front of each rickshaw, holding onto the shafts as he prepares to transport these passengers through the busy streets. This image not only showcases a unique form of transport but also provides a glimpse into daily life in Japan during a bygone era. The blend of tradition and modernity is evident in every aspect of this scene - from the clothing worn by the women to the design of the rickshaws themselves. Overall, this print serves as a reminder of how much has changed over time while also highlighting elements that have remained timeless in Japanese culture.
