EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1880s during the Meiji Era in Japan, showcases an intimate moment between two geishas and a man. The ethereal atmosphere of the image is heightened by the use of muted tones and the delicate application of pigment, typical of albumen prints from the 19th century. The geishas, dressed in their traditional attire, exude an air of grace and refinement, their intricately designed kimonos adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. The man, dressed in Western-style clothing, adds an intriguing contrast to the scene, highlighting the blending of cultures during this period of Japanese history. The use of origami paper in the foreground adds an ethereal touch, symbolizing the artistry and creativity that was an integral part of Japanese culture during this time. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of these indigenous women during the early years of the 20th century, providing a valuable ethnographic record of a unique and fascinating era in Japanese history.
