EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated circa 1870s, transports us back in time to Japan during the Meiji Period (1868-1912). The image depicts a scene of everyday life, as two young Japanese girls, dressed in traditional kimonos, ride in a rickshaw pulled by an unseen rickshaw puller. Rickshaws, also known as jinrikishas, were a common mode of transportation in Japan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They provided a convenient and affordable alternative to horses or horse-drawn carriages. The girls in this photograph appear to be enjoying their ride, their faces filled with excitement and amusement. The backdrop of the image reveals the bustling streets of a Japanese city, with buildings and houses lining the narrow roads. The girls' rickshaw is surrounded by other forms of transportation, including bicycles and horse-drawn carts, adding to the sense of activity and movement. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Japanese girls during the Meiji Period, a time of significant cultural and social change in Japan. The girls' traditional attire, the rickshaw, and the bustling streets all serve as reminders of the rich history and cultural traditions of Japan during this era. The photograph is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of Japan's past, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records for future generations. It invites us to explore the stories and experiences of the people who lived during this fascinating period in Japanese history.
