EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured in Japan during the 1920s, showcases the daily life and commerce of the time. The image features a mother, dressed in a traditional kimono, carefully balancing her baby on her back as she approaches a parched soybeans store. The store, with its distinctive awning, is filled with baskets of soybeans, displaying the variety and richness of this important ingredient in Japanese cuisine. Parched soybeans, also known as roasted soybeans or edamame, have been a staple in Japanese food culture for centuries. They are used in various dishes, including snacks, side dishes, and soups. The beans are roasted until they turn golden brown, developing a nutty flavor and crunchy texture. The scene captures the essence of Japan's thriving trade, industry, and commerce during the 1920s. The store's display of parched soybeans represents the importance of agriculture and food production in the country's economy. The mother's presence adds a personal touch, reminding us of the human connection to the industry and the role of families in the production and sale of traditional food items. This photograph by Grenville Collins is a beautiful and intriguing glimpse into Japan's past, offering a window into the country's rich history and cultural traditions. The image invites us to reflect on the importance of food and commerce in shaping communities and connecting people across time and place.
