EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in Japanese history that speaks volumes about the customs and traditions of the time. Titled "Japanese Greeting," it depicts the expected display of respect and deference shown by womenfolk towards the head of a household upon his return home. The gesture is suitably obsequious, reflecting the hierarchical structure and cultural norms prevalent in 1876 Japan.
The image not only showcases a specific historical moment but also serves as a window into the intricate social dynamics and expectations within Japanese society during this period. It highlights the importance placed on showing respect to authority figures, particularly within the confines of one's own home.
The composition itself is striking, with each figure exuding a sense of grace and humility in their gestures. The attention to detail in capturing this traditional greeting adds depth to our understanding of Japanese customs and rituals from over a century ago.
Overall, this print from Mary Evans Picture Library offers viewers a glimpse into a bygone era where tradition, respect, and hierarchy played crucial roles in shaping daily interactions within Japanese households. It is both an educational tool for learning about historical practices and an aesthetically pleasing piece that evokes nostalgia for times long past.
