The unknown creator skillfully captured a moment of laborious beauty as workers diligently pick tea on terraced land. This image is part of the remarkable collection "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs: From London Bridge to Charing Cross via Yokohama and Chicago" published by George Newnes Ltd in London. The monochrome landscape showcases the picturesque countryside of Hyogo Prefecture, known for its lush greenery and agricultural heritage. In this snapshot from the late 19th century, farm hands can be seen meticulously harvesting tea leaves amidst rows upon rows of bushes. Their occupation reflects the importance of agriculture during that era. The terracing technique employed here not only maximizes space but also adds an artistic touch to the plantation's layout.

This print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's bounty. It reminds us of a time when manual labor played an integral role in sustaining communities while showcasing Japan's rich cultural heritage tied closely with tea production. The meticulousness displayed by these workers exemplifies their dedication towards their profession.
