EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1870s in Japan, offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of tattooed bearers and their carrying chair. The image showcases a group of heavily tattooed men, each one displaying unique and intricate designs covering their bodies. They are gathered around a large, ornate carrying chair, which appears to be made of wood and lacquer, adorned with intricate carvings and decorative elements. The tattooed bearers, or "Hebisuke," were a distinctive feature of Japanese culture during the Edo period (1603-1868). They were often employed by the wealthy and noble classes to carry them in their ornate chairs during public processions and ceremonial events. The bearers' extensive tattoos were a sign of their status and strength, and the intricate designs served as a visual representation of their dedication and service to their employers. The photograph provides a fascinating window into this unique aspect of Japanese history, offering a glimpse into the lives of these men and their role in Japanese society during the late 19th century. The intricate tattoos, the ornate carrying chair, and the sense of community among the bearers all contribute to the richness and complexity of this image, making it a valuable historical document and a captivating work of art.
