EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken circa 1910, showcases the resilient spirit of a Japanese woman as she navigates the rain-soaked streets of Japan. Dressed in traditional attire, she wears a kimono with a sash tied around her waist, and over it, a raincoat made of a waterproof fabric. In her hands, she holds a large, colorful umbrella, its intricate design a testament to the craftsmanship of the era. On her back, she carries a basket backpack, expertly balanced and secured with a strap that crisscrosses over her chest. The woman's footwear, raised clogs or zori, are visible beneath her skirt, keeping her feet dry as she steps carefully on the raised, wet ground. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility, as she continues her daily routine undeterred by the rain. The use of a paper umbrella, a common practice in Japan during this time, adds to the authenticity of the image. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural traditions of Japan during the early 20th century. It is a poignant reminder of the strength and adaptability of the human spirit, as well as the beauty and elegance of the Japanese people and their customs.
