EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "AVQ-A-000433-0015" we are transported back in time to witness a beautiful moment of daily life in Japan during the late 19th century. The image showcases a young Japanese woman gracefully collecting water from a well, providing us with an intimate glimpse into her world. Dressed in traditional attire, the woman's clothing reflects the rich cultural heritage of Japan. Her intricate hairdo and hairstyle further emphasize her elegance and attention to detail. As she stands beside the well, her portrait exudes both strength and grace. The hydraulic structure itself is an architectural marvel, showcasing the ingenuity of Japanese engineering at that time. It serves as a reminder of how communities relied on such structures for their everyday needs, like accessing clean water. This photograph not only captures a specific moment but also offers insights into larger themes such as anthropology, ethnography, and folklore. It provides valuable documentation about Asiatic populations' way of life during this era. Taken between 1877 and 1885 by Von Stillfried Raimund – an acclaimed photographer known for his stunning images from Asia – this print holds historical significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. Its preservation allows us to appreciate the beauty of tradition while reflecting on our shared human experiences across cultures. As we admire this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, let us immerse ourselves in its narrative-rich details: from the female figure embodying resilience to the hydraulic structure symbolizing community reliance. Through these elements combined with Von Stillfried Raimund's artistic vision, we can truly appreciate how photography can transport us through time and space while preserving moments that would otherwise be lost forever.
