EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1818 showcases a man and woman of Japan, offering us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this Asian nation. The image depicts the woman gracefully walking under a parasol held by her servant, while dressed in elegant long robes that exude traditional charm. Handcoloured with meticulous detail, this copperplate engraving captures the essence of their attire and accessories. The woman's ensemble is complemented by a fan she delicately holds, adding an air of sophistication to her appearance. This fascinating snapshot takes us back to a time when Japanese fashion was deeply rooted in tradition and symbolism. Mary Anne Venning, an esteemed writer on geography and education during the early 19th century, included this illustration in her book "A Geographical Present". Through her work, she sought to educate readers about different countries around the world, shedding light on their unique customs and costumes. As we admire this enchanting portrait today, it serves as both a testament to Japan's vibrant past and an invitation for us to explore its diverse culture further. From its regency-era influences to its distinctive folk costume traditions, Japan continues to captivate with its timeless allure.
