About the Artwork
This vibrant hand-colored photograph from the Meiji era (1868–1912) captures a serene kitchen scene featuring two Japanese women preparing an evening meal. One woman wears a work kimono and headscarf, tending carefully to a pot, while the other, more formally dressed, prepares vegetables using traditional wooden bowls.
Centered around a rustic kamado (wood-burning stove), the image offers a compelling window into the domestic life of the time—before electricity or gas—when meals were made from scratch with seasonal ingredients and handmade tools. The background, featuring a wooden wall adorned with hanging utensils, a shoji screen, and woven baskets, adds to the authenticity of this lived-in interior.
This finely restored print is an ode to the beauty of everyday moments in historical Japan, making it an ideal addition to kitchens, culinary spaces, or cultural interiors
