EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of traditional Japanese culture in the 19th century. Titled "Kago, Japanese litter" this engraving by French School showcases a unique mode of transportation commonly used during that era. The image depicts a woman, elegant and feminine, seated inside the kago while being transported by two men. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life the historical significance of this means of transport. The kago was a portable carriage-like structure carried on poles by human bearers, allowing individuals to travel comfortably over long distances. This method was particularly popular among women who sought convenience and protection from harsh weather conditions. The composition exudes an air of tranquility as it transports us back in time to witness this cultural phenomenon firsthand. The artist's skillful rendering highlights not only the beauty and gracefulness of the lady within but also emphasizes her status and privilege. Through this enchanting illustration, we gain insight into Japan's rich history and its distinctive modes of transportation. It serves as a reminder that even in centuries past, innovation played a crucial role in enhancing people's lives. This remarkable piece invites us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and its contribution to our understanding of Japanese society during that period.
