Travel Views of Japan and Korea,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating photographic collection by Arnold Genthe, captures the essence of Eastern culture during the early 1900s. This image, taken in 1908, showcases a group of individuals dressed in traditional Japanese and Korean attire. Arnold Genthe, an American photographer, documented his travels through Japan and Korea with an unparalleled sensitivity and respect for the unique customs and traditions of these countries. In this photograph, we see a mix of men and women dressed in their native clothing. The Japanese women wear elegant kimonos, their obi belts cinched tightly around their waists, while the Korean women don hanboks, their skirts gracefully flowing over their tabi socks. The men, too, are dressed in traditional garb. The Japanese man wears a haori jacket and hakama pants, while the Korean man dons a jeogori, a traditional Korean shirt and pants. Accessories such as geta sandals, parasols, and boots add to the authenticity of the scene. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and Korea during the early 20th century. The Library of Congress, in its vast collection of heritage art, houses this precious piece of history, allowing us to glimpse into the past and appreciate the beauty and diversity of these ancient civilizations. The image, with its timeless quality, transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the intricacies of these traditional costumes and the people who wore them. The combination of the various textures, from the rough fabric of the tabi socks to the smooth silk of the kimonos, adds depth and dimension to the photograph, making it a must-see for anyone interested in fashion, history, or culture.
