EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard image, titled 'Wig Maker, Japan' and dated circa 1920s, offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of traditional Japanese wig making during the early 20th century. The photograph, taken by renowned British photographer Grenville Collins, transports us to a quaint shop in Japan where an artisan meticulously crafts and displays his exquisite wigs. The scene unfolds in a small, dimly lit shop filled with glass cabinets showcasing an array of wigs in various sizes and styles. The wig maker, with a focused expression, delicately arranges strands of silk or human hair, skillfully creating a hairstyle that embodies the essence of Japanese tradition. A little girl, peering curiously from the doorway, adds a touch of innocence and charm to the scene. The wig maker's tools and supplies are neatly organized, reflecting the precision and dedication required to create these intricate hairpieces. The wigs themselves, with their intricate designs and rich colors, are a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of this time-honored trade. This photograph offers a unique window into the world of Japanese commerce and industry during the 1920s, showcasing the importance of traditional crafts and the artisanal skills that continued to thrive alongside the modernization of the country. The wig maker's shop stands as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that Japan has preserved and continues to celebrate to this day.
