About the artwork
This hand-colored photograph from late 19th-century Japan depicts two women walking together, holding hands. Their clothing reflects subtle contrasts in status, personality, or place of origin — one adorned in an elegant floral-patterned kimono with ornate hairpins, the other in a modest white garment and headscarf. A stone lantern in the background anchors the scene in a timeless outdoor setting.
Taken during a period of rapid modernization, the image captures the enduring presence of tradition and quiet companionship in everyday Meiji-era life. More than just a portrait, it offers a glimpse into the relationships, customs, and unspoken warmth shared between women of the time.
