EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "JAPAN: MEAL, 1864" takes us back in time to the Edo period, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Japanese society. The wood engraving, sourced from an English newspaper in 1864, beautifully captures a serene scene within a traditional room. In this enchanting setting, we see men and women seated on a long bench around a low table adorned with delicate tea cups and bowls. Engrossed in their game of chess, one player contemplates his next move while others watch intently. The atmosphere is tranquil yet filled with anticipation as they engage in friendly competition. The room itself exudes elegance with its gracefully arched doorway and intricate engravings adorning the walls. A servant stands nearby attentively serving food to the players, emphasizing the importance placed on hospitality during mealtime. Every detail tells a story about this fascinating era - from the use of chopsticks by both men and women to the triangle-shaped rice balls neatly arranged on plates. This image offers us an intimate look at how meals were enjoyed during that time period. Through this remarkable wood engraving, we are transported back to mid-19th century Japan where daily life was steeped in tradition and refinement. It serves as a reminder of our shared human experiences across cultures and generations.
