EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to Japan around 1868. The image showcases a group of kango bearers, their strong and stoic figures standing out against the backdrop of an ancient city street. Felice Beato, an English-born photographer who made Italy his home, skillfully captures the essence of these hardworking individuals. The hand-colored albumen silver print adds a touch of vibrancy to the scene, bringing life to every detail - from the intricate patterns on their traditional garments to the weathered expressions on their faces. It is evident that Beato's keen eye for composition and lighting has allowed him to create a visually stunning piece. These kango bearers were essential in transporting goods and people during this era in Japan's history. Their strength and endurance were crucial as they navigated through bustling streets filled with merchants and locals going about their daily lives. This photograph not only serves as a visual record but also offers us a glimpse into Japanese culture at that time. It reminds us of the importance placed on physical labor and community support within society. As we admire this remarkable artwork, let us appreciate both Beato's talent behind the lens and these unsung heroes who played such vital roles in shaping Japan's past.
