EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the late 1800s in Japan, during the Meiji Era (1868-1912). The photograph, taken around the 1880s, depicts a group of geishas, elegantly dressed in traditional Japanese attire, gathered around a kettle and stove in a studio setting. Geishas were highly skilled entertainers, known for their arts, such as music, dance, and conversation. They were an integral part of Japanese culture, particularly in the urban areas. Their distinctive appearance, with elaborate makeup and elaborate hairstyles, was a symbol of refinement and elegance. The geishas in this photograph are shown in a more casual moment, preparing tea for themselves or for their clients. The kettle and stove were essential tools for their trade, as they often entertained guests in teahouses and private homes. The tinted, albumen print, with its rich colors and intricate details, captures the essence of this ethnographic moment, providing a glimpse into the daily life of these indigenous women during a pivotal time in Japanese history. This photograph is a valuable piece of history, showcasing the unique customs and traditions of the 19th century in Japan. It offers a rare insight into the lives of these women, whose occupations were both artistic and practical, and whose skills were highly sought after in Japanese society. This image is a testament to the enduring allure of Japan's rich cultural heritage and the fascination it continues to hold for us today.
