EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Lady Arnold, born Tama Kurokawa, in her elegant attire as the third wife of Sir Edwin Arnold. Lady Arnold, of Japanese descent, was a trailblazer as the only Japanese lady listed in Debrett's, the prestigious British social registry. The image, taken around the turn of the 20th century, showcases Lady Arnold's youthful beauty and refined elegance. Her slim waist and graceful posture are accentuated by her ornate, Eastern-inspired costume, which features intricate patterns and rich colors. The dress, with its high collar and long sleeves, is reminiscent of traditional Japanese garments, yet the European influence is evident in the fitted silhouette and floor-length skirt. Lady Arnold's exotic allure and aristocratic bearing make her a fascinating figure in the upper echelons of British society during a time when racial and cultural boundaries were being challenged. Her marriage to Sir Edwin Arnold, a renowned English poet and journalist, further highlights the intermingling of Eastern and Western cultures in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
