Attire Cape Countryfolk Farmer Garment Outerwear Paddy Raincoat Reeds Rice Straw Waterproof Wide


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of rural life in Japan during the early 1900s, as a dedicated rice farmer and his wife go about their daily tasks in traditional attire. The farmer, clad in a long, straw raincoat known as a Mino, protects himself from the elements as he carries a hoe over his shoulder and walks towards his paddy field. The Mino, made from woven reeds, was a vital part of rural Japanese wardrobes, providing both waterproofing and insulation. The farmers' wide-brimmed hats, also made of straw, shielded them from the sun and rain. The farmer's wife, dressed in a simple yet elegant traditional costume, accompanies him, her outfit reflecting the harmony between nature and the people who worked it. The paddy field, with its lush green rice plants and shimmering water, stretches out in the background, a testament to the couple's hard work and dedication. The scene is a poignant reminder of the close connection between the Japanese rural population and the land they farmed, a bond that has endured through generations. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of Japan's countryfolk and their rich cultural heritage.
