EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of Japanese rickshaw drivers in the bustling port city of Kobe, Japan, in 1928. The image transports us back in time to the 1920s, an era of transition and modernization in Japan. The rickshaws, a traditional form of man-powered transportation, were a common sight on the streets, providing a more affordable alternative to horse-drawn carriages and motor vehicles. The rickshaw drivers are shown in their distinctive attire, wearing long-sleeved shirts, wide-legged trousers, and conical hats, known as "jinbei," to protect them from the sun. They are seen here patiently waiting for passengers, their rickshaws lined up neatly along the sidewalk. The women in the photograph, dressed in traditional kimonos and carrying parasols or paper umbrellas, add an air of elegance and grace to the scene. Despite the modernization that was taking place in Japan during the 1920s, rickshaws remained a popular mode of transportation for both locals and tourists. The drivers, who were often skilled athletes, would navigate the crowded streets with ease, skillfully maneuvering their rickshaws around pedestrians, carts, and other obstacles. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life and transportation culture of Kobe, Japan, during the 1920s. The scene is one of tranquility and tradition, a reminder of a time when life moved at a slower pace, and human connection and personal service were valued above all else.
