EDITORS COMMENTS
Sannomiya Dori, Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan (circa 1910s) This evocative postcard image captures the bustling atmosphere of Sannomiya Dori, the main shopping street in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan during the 1910s. The street, lined with various shops and vendors, is filled with people going about their daily business. In the foreground, a clockmaker or watch seller displays his wares on a low table, attracting the attention of potential customers. Nearby, a rickshaw driver waits for fares, his vehicle a common mode of transportation during this era. Telegraph and telephone lines crisscross above the street, symbolizing the growing connectivity between Japan and the rest of the world. The shops along the street offer a diverse range of goods, from textiles and ceramics to food and souvenirs. The Oriental architecture of the buildings, with their intricate woodwork and traditional roofing, adds to the unique character of the scene. Despite the hustle and bustle, there is a sense of order and harmony in the image. The people move about the street with purpose, yet there is a calmness to their demeanor. The use of natural colors and soft lighting further enhances the serene atmosphere. This postcard offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Kobe during the early 20th century, a time of great change and growth in Japan. It is a reminder of the enduring appeal of Japanese traditions and the vibrant energy of its cities.
