EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of rest in the midst of traditional Japanese transportation. The image showcases a Kago Travelling Chair being carried by strong men, with a woman seated comfortably inside. Dating back to the 1910s, this scene offers a glimpse into a bygone era where such modes of travel were commonplace. The intricate details of the Kago chair and the determination on the faces of the carriers highlight both the physical strength required for this task and the importance placed on providing comfort for those being transported. The woman's serene expression as she takes a pause from her journey speaks to the necessity of rest even during long travels. The composition and lighting in this photograph are expertly captured by Grenville Collins, allowing viewers to feel as though they are right there witnessing this moment unfold. It serves as a reminder of Japan's rich cultural history and traditions surrounding transportation. Whether used for practical purposes or simply as an artistic representation, this postcard-worthy image is sure to evoke feelings of nostalgia and admiration for the resilience and grace exhibited by those depicted in it.
