EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a bygone era with this image of the New Year celebration in Japan, captured in the early 1900s. The vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era of elegance and tradition. The scene is set in a quiet Japanese village, where the first days of the New Year are being welcomed with great reverence. The air is filled with anticipation and excitement as people gather around, preparing for the festivities. In the foreground, a group of women, dressed in traditional kimonos, are busy hanging lanterns along the streets. The intricately designed lanterns, with their delicate paper shades and bamboo frames, cast a warm, inviting glow over the scene. In the background, men can be seen carrying a large, ornate torii gate on their shoulders, signaling the beginning of the procession. The gate, adorned with intricate carvings and vibrant colors, represents the entrance to a sacred shrine. The image is a testament to the deep-rooted cultural traditions that continue to thrive in Japan, even as the world around it changes. The photograph, with its soft focus and muted colors, evokes a sense of nostalgia and wonder. It is a reminder of the rich history and beauty that exists in the world, waiting to be discovered. As we gaze at this image of a New Year celebration in Japan, we are transported back in time, to an era of simplicity, tradition, and beauty.
