EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Felice Beato in 1865, we are transported back to a time when traditional Japanese fashion was meticulously crafted. The image showcases the intimate moment of one Japanese woman helping another put on her obi or girdle. Captured in a dimly lit room, the scene unfolds with grace and elegance. Kneeling before a mirror, the young woman receiving assistance gazes attentively at her reflection while her companion delicately adjusts the intricate folds of fabric around her waist. Their concentration is palpable as they work together to perfect every detail. The composition highlights the beauty of their kimonos, which drape gracefully over their slender figures. The women's attire exudes timeless sophistication and cultural significance, reflecting Japan's rich history and traditions. Felice Beato's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to this portrait-like photograph, emphasizing each woman's features as well as the textures and patterns of their garments. The monochromatic palette enhances the sense of nostalgia surrounding this historical moment. This print serves as a poignant reminder of an era where such rituals were commonplace among women in Japan – an art form passed down through generations. It invites us to appreciate not only the exquisite craftsmanship but also celebrates female camaraderie and support within these ancient customs.
