Agriculture Attire Baskets Shoulder Straw Traditonal Yolk
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the daily life of a Japanese farmer's wife in the 1910s. Dressed in traditional clothing, she carries the weight of two full baskets balanced on a yoke slung over one shoulder. The straw hat shields her from the sun as she makes her way through a serene rural landscape. In the background, the silhouette of a temple adds a sense of tranquility and spiritual connection to the scene. The farmer's wife's attire is simple yet practical, consisting of a long-sleeved blouse, a wide skirt, and a belted jacket to protect against the elements. Her clothes are made of natural fibers, such as cotton or hemp, which were commonly used in rural Japan during this time. The use of natural materials not only reflects the agricultural lifestyle but also demonstrates the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Japanese people. Agriculture has always been an essential part of Japanese culture, and this image offers a glimpse into the lives of those who worked the land. Farming was not only a means of survival but also a source of pride and identity for the Japanese people. The farmer's wife's strong and determined expression suggests that she takes great pride in her role as a farmer and provider for her family. The peaceful setting of this photograph, with its lush greenery and gentle sunlight, offers a contrast to the hard work and dedication required to maintain a farm. The image serves as a reminder of the deep connection between the Japanese people and their land, a bond that continues to this day.
