EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured in the late 1880s in Japan, offers a glimpse into the daily life and leisure activities of young Japanese men during the Meiji Era (1868-1912). The scene unfolds at a quay or harbor, where a group of men are seen engaging in swimming and diving activities. The ethnographic image showcases the traditional Japanese swimming style, which involved diving from the quay or rocks into the water, often with the aid of a handheld flotation device. The men, dressed in their native attire, display a sense of camaraderie and joy as they take turns diving into the water. The image is further enhanced by the presence of boats moored at the dock, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the harbor. The boats were an essential part of Japanese trade and transportation during this era, and their inclusion in the photograph underscores the importance of maritime activities in Japanese culture. The photograph is an albumen print, a popular photographic process during the 19th century, which produced richly detailed and tonally nuanced images. The tinted hues add a vintage and nostalgic feel to the image, transporting us back in time to this historic era. The skill and artistry of the photographer are evident in the way they have captured the dynamic energy of the scene, offering a unique and valuable insight into the lives of these young Japanese men during a time of great change and modernization in their country.
