EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Shenyang city in Liaoning Province, China during the early 1910s. The bustling Kasugacho Street is depicted in all its lively glory, showcasing a vibrant commercial hub filled with activity and energy.
In the small inset illustration, three men are engrossed in a game of Go, a traditional Chinese board game that requires skill and strategy. Their intense focus on the game highlights the deep-rooted cultural traditions that have been passed down through generations in this northeastern Chinese city.
Known historically as Mukden or Fengtsien, Shenyang has a rich and diverse history that is evident in every corner of Kasugacho Street. The architecture, street vendors, and bustling crowds paint a vivid picture of daily life in this dynamic city.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back in time to experience a moment frozen in history. The men playing Go serve as a reminder of the importance of tradition and community bonds that have stood the test of time.
This print is not just an image - it is a window into the past, allowing us to glimpse into the soul of Shenyang city and appreciate its unique charm and character.
