Additional information

This beautiful hand-colored vintage photograph captures a traditional Japanese kitchen scene, offering a rare and intimate glimpse into domestic life during the late 19th or early 20th century. Two women, dressed in authentic period attire, are engaged in meal preparation, surrounded by an array of traditional cookware and utensils.

On the left, a woman wearing a headscarf and a simple work kimono carefully tends to a pot, while the woman on the right, dressed in a more elegant kimono, appears to be preparing ingredients with wooden bowls and steaming pots. The rustic wooden stove (kamado) at the center serves as the heart of the kitchen, highlighting the traditional Japanese cooking methods used before modern appliances. The backdrop features wooden walls adorned with kitchen tools, along with a classic shoji screen, reinforcing the scene's authenticity.

This reproduction print is perfect for history enthusiasts, collectors, or those passionate about traditional Japanese culture. It beautifully preserves the essence of daily life, showcasing the roles of women in historical Japan and the deep-rooted culinary traditions that continue to influence Japanese cuisine today.
