EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by Underwood & Underwood in the early 1900s, depicts a group of Japanese nurses providing assistance to a wounded patient during a time of great upheaval and change in their country. The scene unfolds outdoors, with the nurses carrying the patient on a stretcher, their faces etched with determination and compassion. The nurses are dressed in traditional Japanese garb, with long-sleeved kimonos and wide-brimmed hats, yet they move with the efficiency and poise of modern medical professionals. This image offers a rare glimpse into the role of women during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), a pivotal moment in Japanese history when the country asserted its place on the world stage. The nurses' unwavering dedication to their patients, despite the challenges and hardships, speaks to the resilience and strength of the human spirit. This historic photograph, with its timeless composition and poignant subject matter, continues to resonate with viewers today, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of compassion and care.
