EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the traditional method of river transport along the Hozu River in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, during the 1910s. The Hozu River is a part of the larger Katsura River, winding its way through the picturesque mountains and valleys of the region. In this image, we see a group of skilled workers expertly maneuvering a bamboo raft using long poles, navigating the rapids and treacherous waters with a grace and precision that speaks to their deep connection with the land and the river. The raft, made of bamboo and other natural materials, glides smoothly over the water, its slender form a stark contrast to the towering rocks and rugged terrain that line the riverbanks. The poling technique, a traditional method of transportation used for centuries in Japan, is both unusual and mesmerizing, with the rhythmic movements of the polers creating a harmonious balance between human effort and the natural flow of the river. The Hozu River is known for its challenging rapids and steep inclines, making it a treacherous waterway to navigate. Yet, the people of this region have mastered the art of poling rafts, turning a potentially dangerous endeavor into a beautiful and essential part of daily life. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Japanese people, and a reminder of the deep connection between humans and the natural world.
