EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored engraving captures the elegance and grace of Japanese ladies during the Old Regime. The scene depicts a group of noble women leisurely enjoying their journey on a traditional Japanese ferry boat, which is being pulled by female swimmers. This unique mode of transportation showcases both the ingenuity and sophistication of Japan's historic culture. Dressed in exquisite kimonos adorned with intricate patterns, these women epitomize the fashion trends of their time. Their parasols shield them from the sun as they relax on this catamaran-like raft, symbolizing their wealth and social status. As they glide through calm waters, surrounded by lush greenery and majestic palaces in the background, it becomes evident that this activity was not only a means of travel but also a form of recreation for these privileged individuals. The illustration offers us a glimpse into an era when monarchy reigned supreme in Japan. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and traditions that have shaped this Asian nation throughout history. Preserved through art like this print, we are able to appreciate how life was lived during those times. This image transports us back to an age where women played significant roles within society while maintaining an air of refinement and poise. It encapsulates both beauty and tranquility – elements that continue to define Japan's cultural identity even today.
