Old Customs That Resist the Times
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Old customs that resist the times" captures a fascinating scene from Japanese courts in the early 20th century. In an era of modernity and progress, where cars roam the streets and technology reigns supreme, there remains a steadfast adherence to ancient traditions. The image depicts five students who have recently been tried for rebellion against the guards exiting the Tokyo Court. As they step out into the bustling street, their heads are covered with bell-shaped baskets—a centuries-old custom aimed at shielding them from public curiosity. Amidst a crowd of onlookers, this snapshot encapsulates both tradition and change. The juxtaposition of rebellious youth dressed in modern attire alongside officials donning traditional garments is striking. It highlights how elements of old and new coexist within society's fabric. Italian illustrator Achille Beltrame masterfully captured this moment in time for Courier Sunday in February 1920. His attention to detail brings forth a vivid portrayal of Japan's legal system grappling with its own evolution. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking artwork, we are reminded that even as societies evolve rapidly, certain customs endure—symbols of heritage and identity that persist despite changing times. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that some traditions refuse to be swept away by passing trends or technological advancements.
