1878 Contrasting Difference Etiquette Form Greeting Westernised


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Japanese Greeting / 1878" offers a fascinating glimpse into the cultural transformation that took place in Japan during the late 19th century. Depicting New Year's Day festivities, this illustration beautifully contrasts the old traditional customs with the emerging westernized influences on dress and greeting etiquette. Intriguingly, this image captures two distinct groups of people engaging in different forms of greetings. On one side, we witness individuals dressed in elaborate traditional attire, adhering to age-old customs deeply rooted in Japanese history. Their graceful bows and elegant kimonos reflect a sense of reverence for tradition and an unwavering commitment to preserving their cultural heritage. On the other side, however, stands a group adorned in modern Western clothing – a stark departure from their counterparts' attire. These individuals adopt a more casual approach to greeting each other with handshakes and nods instead of formal bows. This juxtaposition symbolizes Japan's rapid embrace of Western influence during this period as it sought to modernize its society while navigating through significant societal changes. Mary Evans Picture Library has masterfully captured this historical moment through their prints collection. As viewers engage with this photograph, they are transported back to an era where tradition met innovation head-on—a visual testament to Japan's complex journey towards embracing new ideas without losing sight of its rich cultural identity.
