EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the essence of early 20th century Japanese culture, featuring a young, elegant woman dressed in traditional winter attire and holding an umbrella. Dating back to the Meiji era (1868-1912), this image is believed to have been taken between the 1880s and 1900s. The woman's outfit consists of a beautiful kimono, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, layered over a robe and a long-sleeved blouse. Her hair is styled in a classic chignon, and she wears traditional makeup, including a bold line of kohl eyeliner. Despite the cold winter weather, the woman exudes a sense of grace and poise, as she shields herself from the rain with a traditional Japanese umbrella. The use of an electric fan in the background, a common accessory during this period to keep warm, adds an interesting contrast to the winter scene. This photograph is a precious reminder of Japan's rich history and the enduring allure of its traditional clothing and customs. The image invites us to travel back in time and experience the beauty and elegance of a bygone era. Whether for personal enjoyment or academic research, this vintage print is a must-have for anyone interested in Asian history, fashion, or culture.
