Case Crufts Exhibited Griggs Pomp Sailors Special
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Pomp of the Japanese: Carrying a Japanese Dog" from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, offers a glimpse into the historical significance of the Japanese breeds at the Crufts Dog Show in 1911. The image, exhibited by Mrs. Griggs, showcases a group of sailors carefully carrying a Japanese dog in a special case. Dressed in their naval uniforms, the sailors display the utmost care and respect for the precious cargo, reflecting the high value placed on these dogs in Japanese culture. The Japanese breeds, including the Akita and Shiba Inu, were first imported to Europe and the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These dogs quickly gained popularity for their distinctive appearance, strength, and agility. The Japanese dog in this photograph is likely one of these breeds, making it an important historical artifact of the early days of Japanese dog breeding outside of Japan. The special case in which the dog is being carried adds an air of decadence and luxury to the scene. This attention to detail and care for the dogs is a testament to the deep connection between the Japanese people and their canine companions. The photograph also highlights the unique role that Crufts played in promoting and preserving rare and exotic breeds, making it an essential piece of canine history. Overall, "The Pomp of the Japanese: Carrying a Japanese Dog" is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Japanese dogs and their relationship with their human companions. The photograph's historical significance, coupled with its beautiful composition and intriguing subject matter, makes it a must-have for any serious dog history or Japanese culture enthusiast.
