Dejima Foreign Nagasaki Settlement Swimming
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of pure joy and innocence as Japanese children frolic in the waters off Dejima, Nagasaki, Japan, circa 1890. Dejima, located in the heart of Nagasaki Harbor, was the site of the first foreign settlement in Japan, established in 1641. The settlement was a significant cultural and commercial exchange point between Japan and the Western world. In this image, we see a group of children, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, taking a break from their daily activities to enjoy the cool waters of the harbor. The children's laughter and playful splashes create a sense of tranquility and harmony, as they seem to be oblivious to the world around them. The clear waters of the harbor reflect the blue sky and the surrounding lush greenery, adding to the serene atmosphere. The photograph provides a glimpse into the daily life of the Japanese people during this period, offering a window into their culture and traditions. The image also highlights the unique history of Dejima as a place of cultural exchange and interaction between Japan and the Western world. The photograph's timeless quality and the children's joyful expressions make it a treasured piece of history, capturing a moment in time that transcends borders and generations.
