EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Katsukuma Higashi, a renowned Jiu-Jitsu practitioner in 1881. Taken by an anonymous European photographer from the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. Higashi's intense gaze and powerful stance reflect his dedication to the martial art form. This photograph was originally featured as an illustration for "510 Celebrites Contemporaines, 2me Collection" published by Felix Potin. Although it is only suitable for reproduction at small sizes, its historical significance remains undeniable. Jiu-Jitsu originated in Japan and gained popularity worldwide due to its effectiveness in self-defense techniques. Higashi's portrayal here showcases not only his physical prowess but also highlights the cultural exchange between Asia and Europe during that era. The monochromatic tones add depth and timelessness to this portrait, emphasizing Higashi's importance within both Japanese history and the world of sports. It serves as a testament to his legacy as one of the notable figures who contributed to shaping Jiu-Jitsu into what it is today. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through their Fine Art Finder platform, allowing us to appreciate Higashi's contribution while celebrating Asian culture and heritage captured through photography.
