EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts the picturesque settlement at Kobe, Japan, as it appeared during the late 19th century. The image captures the unique blend of traditional Japanese architecture and modern influences, with wooden houses nestled among the rolling hills and the bustling harbor in the foreground. The tranquil waters of the sea reflect the vibrant colors of the lanterns and the sails of the boats, adding to the serene atmosphere. Kobe, located in the southern part of Hyōgo Prefecture on Osaka Bay, was a significant port city even during this era. Its strategic location made it a gateway for international trade, attracting merchants and travelers from around the world. The settlement's growth during the late 1800s was marked by the establishment of the first foreign settlement in Japan, which further fueled its development. The lantern slide, part of the Boswell Collection, Box 158 Japan, and slide no. 22, dates back to the 1890s. It offers a fascinating glimpse into Japan's rich history and the transformative period that saw the country open its doors to the world. The image invites us to explore the intricacies of Japanese culture and the captivating beauty of its landscapes.
