EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of 1860s Japan through the eyes of renowned Italian-British photographer Felice Beato. The young woman in the image is elegantly dressed in traditional Japanese attire, adorned with a beautiful kimono featuring intricate patterns and vibrant colors. She accessorizes her ensemble with an obi belt, which cinches the waist of her kimono, and her hair is styled in a classic updo, held in place by ornate hairpins. In her hands, she cradles a shamisen, a three-stringed musical instrument commonly associated with geisha culture. Beato, who worked extensively in Asia during the 1860s and 1870s, captured this moment with exquisite detail using the wet collodion process, a popular photographic technique of the time. The albumen print, which is a positive print made from the collodion process, showcases the woman's delicate features and the intricacies of her clothing. During the Tokugawa shogunate era (1603-1868), Japan was largely isolated from the Western world. However, the arrival of foreigners, particularly during the Meiji Restoration (1868-1912), brought about significant cultural changes. This portrait offers a glimpse into the traditional Japanese way of life before these transformations. Beato's work, including this portrait, provides valuable historical records of the 19th century in Asia, offering a unique perspective into the lives of people during that time. The young woman in the image embodies the grace, beauty, and cultural richness of Japan during the 1860s.
