EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Appearance of a street in Edo (Tokyo) on the first day of the year" takes us back to 19th century Japan, offering a glimpse into the vibrant and lively atmosphere that filled the streets. The image showcases transvestite inhabitants strolling through the bustling street, while children engage in various games and activities. The scene is teeming with excitement as kites made of paper soar high above, adding splashes of color against the sky. Children can be seen playing with stitches, tops, hoops, snowshoes, puppies, and effigies crafted from paper mache. Their laughter and joyous songs fill the air as they immerse themselves in these timeless pastimes. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1869 by Edouard Charton and captured by an unknown artist from Switzerland during their visit to Edo (now Tokyo), this photograph offers a unique window into Japanese culture during this period. It reflects both tradition and modernity coexisting harmoniously within society. The Selva Collection has preserved this remarkable piece of history for generations to come. Through Leonard de Selva's lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how people celebrated the beginning of a new year amidst colorful festivities and community spirit. This print serves as a testament to our shared humanity across time and cultures—a reminder that despite our differences, joyous celebrations have always brought communities together throughout history.
