EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by BL Singley in 1905, showcases a traditional Japanese kago in all its simplicity. The image transports us to the beautiful countryside of Japan, where a female occupant is comfortably seated inside the undecorated palanquin while being carried by two strong carriers. The landscape surrounding them features a picturesque valley with a serene stream flowing through it. Stereoscopic photography adds depth and dimension to this stunning scene, allowing us to feel as if we are part of the journey ourselves. It captures not only the physical aspect of transportation but also offers glimpses into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during that time. The kago served as an essential mode of travel for both men and women in rural areas, providing comfort and convenience over long distances. This particular photograph highlights the harmonious interaction between genders as both male and female carriers work together seamlessly. BL Singley's attention to detail brings this historical moment back to life, reminding us of simpler times when nature played an integral role in everyday life. As we admire this print from Heritage Images, we can't help but be transported back in time and appreciate the beauty found within traditional forms of transport like the Japanese kago.
