EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the traditional process of dehulling rice or making rice flour in Japan. The image showcases a worker diligently operating a rice pounder, showcasing the country's rich culinary heritage. The scene exudes an atmosphere of industry and hard work as the worker skillfully grinds the rice using a pestle and mortar-like contraption. This ancient method demonstrates Japan's commitment to preserving its cultural traditions even amidst advancing technology. The photo, taken by an anonymous Japanese photographer from the 20th century, offers a glimpse into a bygone era when machinery like this was essential for manufacturing food products. It is now part of a private collection but has been widely shared through publications such as Moderne Kunst in Meister-Holzschnitten (Richard Bong, Berlin, c1904). The image not only highlights the importance of rice in Japanese cuisine but also pays homage to the laborers who dedicated themselves to producing high-quality ingredients. Their expertise and dedication are evident in every grain being pounded with precision. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder, let us appreciate how these workers contributed to shaping Japan's food industry while upholding their cultural identity.
