EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure of a steamship from Hyogo Port in Kobe, Japan, in the year 1922. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of maritime travel and global connections.

The photograph's composition and lighting create a sense of movement and energy, as the steamship begins its journey out of the harbor.
