EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "First steam train leaving Yokohama" takes us back to the year 1872 in Japan. Created by Kunisada Utagawa IIII (Kunimasa), this Japanese triptych print beautifully captures a significant moment of modernization and progress in Yokohama. In the foreground, we see a bustling steam train filled with passengers eagerly embarking on their journey. The excitement is palpable as they witness history being made before their eyes. Behind them, the cityscape of Yokohama stretches out, showcasing its rapid development and transformation into a thriving urban center. As our gaze extends further, we are met with a breathtaking view of cliffs and mountains that surround the city. This juxtaposition between nature's grandeur and human innovation reminds us of mankind's ability to conquer even the most challenging landscapes. Adding to the charm of this scene are ships sailing gracefully on the sea in the background, symbolizing both international trade and connectivity. This image encapsulates not only technological advancements but also Japan's growing presence on the global stage during this era. Through this triptych composition, Kunisada Utagawa IIII transports us back in time to witness an extraordinary moment in Japanese history – one that marks a pivotal step towards modern transportation and societal progression.
