The New Year Game - A Celebration of Tradition and Joy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The New Year Game" takes us back to the vibrant festivities of Japan in 1898-99. Illustrated by Koryusai Isoda, this colourful lithograph captures a cherished tradition that marked the arrival of the new year. In this delightful scene, we witness a group of women dressed in elegant kimonos engaging in a game reminiscent of badminton. The air is filled with laughter and excitement as they skillfully shuttlecock the feathered volant over a bamboo net suspended between two majestic pine trees. The New Year Game was more than just a recreational activity; it symbolized unity, joy, and hope for the coming year. As participants gracefully moved across the court with their battledores, they celebrated not only their physical prowess but also their cultural heritage. Through this enchanting image, we are transported to an era where traditions were treasured and passed down through generations. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity's rapid changes, there is immense value in preserving our customs and finding joy in shared experiences. Let this remarkable artwork inspire us to embrace our own unique traditions while fostering connections with others during times of celebration. May it remind us that games can transcend boundaries and bring people together in harmony - just like these women did on that joyful day captured so beautifully by Koryusai Isoda.
