EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Japanese fan seller in Kimono" takes us back to the late Meiji period in Japan (1868-1912). The image showcases a graceful woman dressed in a traditional kimono, standing proudly as she sells her exquisite fans. Published as a Japanese postcard in the early 20th century, this print captures the essence of an era that was marked by both tradition and modernization. The caption on the photo reads simply 'Fan-seller, ' emphasizing the main subject's occupation. In this bustling scene from turn-of-the-century Japan, we catch a glimpse of daily life where merchants like her played an essential role. As she stands behind her stall adorned with various types of fans, one can't help but admire her fashionable attire and attention to detail. The vendor's kimono is not only a garment but also a statement piece reflecting Japanese fashion trends at that time. With its intricate patterns and vibrant colors, it epitomizes elegance and sophistication. This photo serves as a testament to how clothing choices were used to express individuality even during this period of societal change. As we delve into the history captured within this image, we are transported back to an industry driven by craftsmanship and design innovation. The shop itself becomes part of our narrative – filled with other items waiting for potential customers seeking unique pieces or souvenirs. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this snapshot from early 20th-century Japan, allowing us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also gain insight into the culture and commerce of that time. Through their careful curation, they have provided us with an opportunity to explore different facets of history through art.
