This hand-coloured photograph transports us back to the bustling streets of Kiyomizu-Zaka in Kyoto during the 1890s. The image showcases a row of exquisite porcelain shops, each adorned with vibrant calligraphy and ceramic treasures that catch the eye. It is a testament to the rich commerce and craftsmanship that thrived in East Asia during this era. The scene comes alive with Japanese women dressed in traditional attire, gracefully tending to their shops. Their presence adds an air of elegance and authenticity to this historical snapshot. These female figures embody the entrepreneurial spirit as they skillfully navigate their businesses, offering pottery and porcelain wares to passersby. The meticulous hand colouring technique used on this photograph enhances its visual appeal, bringing out every intricate detail of these beautiful shops. The soft hues lend warmth and depth to an already enchanting composition.
