EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Japanese playing card from 1893, beautifully illustrating the proverb "The dog that runs away is sure to get beaten". The litho detail captures the essence of this traditional folk wisdom in stunning clarity. Intriguingly, this image was featured in The Picture Magazine, offering a glimpse into the cultural significance and entertainment value it held during its time. It represents more than just a game; it symbolizes leisure, relaxation, and fun. The players depicted in this engraving are fully engrossed in their game, demonstrating the joy and camaraderie that comes with such activities. Their focus on the stick-like cards highlights Japan's rich history of unique games and pastimes. Amidst an era where technology dominates our lives, this print serves as a reminder of simpler times when people found delight in simple pleasures. It transports us back to an age where gathering around for some friendly competition brought communities together. As we admire this artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to preserve moments of cultural heritage. This photograph invites us to reflect on how games have been an integral part of human existence throughout history – providing both entertainment and valuable life lessons along the way.
