EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Japan: Kago, Traveling Chair" takes us back to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into Japanese culture and history. The image showcases a traditional kago, or traveling chair, which was commonly used in Japan during that time. The kago is beautifully captured by the anonymous Japanese photographer, highlighting its intricate design and craftsmanship. This portable chair was an essential piece of furniture for travelers who needed comfort on their journeys across Japan's diverse landscapes. The photograph is part of a private collection and was originally copyrighted in 1902 by Henry T Coates in the USA. It later became an illustration for Anna C Hartshorne's book "Japan and her People" published in 1904. With its gravure printing technique, this image exudes a timeless charm that transports us to another era. The monochromatic tones add depth to the composition while emphasizing the historical significance of this cultural artifact. As we admire this remarkable piece of furniture from Japan's past, we are reminded of the rich heritage and traditions that continue to shape Asian societies today. Whether it be for leisurely travel or practical purposes, chairs like these hold stories within them – tales of exploration, adventure, and human connection. Bridgeman Images has preserved this photographic artwork from the early 20th century so that viewers can appreciate its beauty and historical value for generations to come.
