EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the vibrant streets of Edo, Japan, around 1800. Edo, now known as Tokyo, was a bustling city filled with people from all walks of life. The image showcases a diverse range of occupations and professions that thrived during this period. In the foreground, we see an actor on horseback accompanied by his attendant. Dressed in elaborate costumes, they symbolize the rich tradition of acting and entertainment that flourished in Edo. Meanwhile, a doctor can be seen riding alongside them on his cart, highlighting the importance of medicine and healthcare in society. The presence of a samurai suggests the influence of feudalism during this era when warriors held significant power. A wrestler is also depicted nearby, showcasing the popularity of sports and physical prowess among the people. As we explore further into the image's background, we notice individuals engaged in various tasks such as hairdressing and fishmongering - essential trades that supported daily life for many residents. This photograph not only captures the essence of Edo's vibrant street culture but also provides valuable insights into its social fabric during this transformative period. It serves as a testament to Captain F Brinkley's dedication to documenting Japan's history through his comprehensive work "Japan: Its History Arts and Literature. "
