Crossing the Oho-E-Ga-Wa - A Glimpse into 19th Century Japanese Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Crossing the Oho-E-Ga-Wa, Province Suraga, 1855" offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich tapestry of life in Japan during the 19th century. The image showcases a bustling scene along the riverbanks of Asia's majestic Oho-E-Ga-Wa River. In this vibrant landscape, we witness a harmonious blend of social classes and genders as men and women traverse through their daily routines. Sedan chairs elegantly carry individuals across the river while servants diligently assist them on their journey. Geishas gracefully stroll alongside piggyback riders, showcasing both elegance and practicality in their transport methods. The composition exudes an air of tranquility as pedestrians wade through gentle waters or walk leisurely along its banks. The presence of litters further emphasizes the importance placed on comfort and convenience during travel in this era. Through this stunning color lithograph, we are transported back to a time when Japan was undergoing significant cultural shifts. It serves as a testament to both tradition and progress within Japanese society. This remarkable piece is part of the Jackson Collection of American Lithographs housed at Philadelphia's Free Library. Its preservation allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also gain valuable insights into historical customs and practices that shaped Japan's past.
