EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Underwood & Underwood in 1904, transports us to a rural scene near Yokohama, Japan. The image showcases the timeless tradition of farming and the diligent work of farmers as they prepare for winter. In this snapshot of agricultural life, we see men and women dressed in traditional Japanese attire meticulously spreading millet on mats to dry. With bamboo rakes in hand, these farm workers skillfully distribute the cereal crop across the mats with utmost care. Their straw hats shield them from the sun's rays as they toil away under its warmth. The composition beautifully captures both male and female laborers working side by side, highlighting their shared dedication to providing food for their community. This harmonious collaboration between genders is emblematic of the strong sense of unity found within Japanese farming culture. The monochrome aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia to this century-old photograph while also emphasizing the simplicity and purity inherent in this age-old practice. It serves as a reminder that despite technological advancements over time, some aspects of agriculture remain deeply rooted in tradition. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Underwood & Underwood's collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the hard work and resilience displayed by these farmers near Yokohama over a century ago.
