EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MFC-A-004626-0014" captured by the talented Beato Felice in 1865-1870, transports us back to a significant moment in Japanese history. The image showcases a full-length portrait of a traditional Japanese woman adorned in humble clothing. With her delicate frame and serene expression, she exudes an air of grace and tranquility. What truly captivates the viewer is the sight of a child tied securely to her back, symbolizing the deep bond between mother and child. As she plays the shyamisen, a traditional three-stringed instrument known for its melodic tunes, one can almost hear the enchanting music resonating through this timeless scene. The woman's attire reflects Japan's rich cultural heritage with every detail meticulously crafted. She wears wooden shoes that epitomize popular footwear during that era while adorning her head with a characteristic straw hat - an iconic headdress associated with civilian life at that time. Beato Felice masterfully captures not only this intimate portrait but also provides us with glimpses into Japan's modern history. This photograph serves as an invaluable resource for scholars studying nations' histories, peoples' cultures, territories' evolution, anthropology research on ethnic populations and folklore studies. As we delve into this mesmerizing snapshot from Alinari's collection, it becomes evident how photography can transcend time and space. It allows us to immerse ourselves in different eras and witness moments frozen forever within their frames. Let us cherish these visual treasures as windows into our collective pasts – reminding us of our shared humanity across diverse cultures around the world.
