Arrive Arrives Arriving Bowing Bows Greet Greeting Greets Koto Sandals
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of arrival of the elegant Japanese woman, O-koto-san, at her friend's house around the year 1910. Dressed in traditional Japanese attire, O-koto-san wears a beautiful kimono with intricate patterns, accessorized with a silk obi belt and traditional sandals. Her long, flowing hair is styled in a classic Japanese updo, adorned with delicate hairpins. As she approaches the entrance of her friend's home, O-koto-san bows in greeting, demonstrating the deep respect and etiquette that is an integral part of Japanese culture. The traditional bow is a sign of respect, humility, and gratitude, and is a common practice when entering someone's home or meeting someone of higher status. The serene expression on O-koto-san's face conveys a sense of peace and tranquility, as if she is at one with her surroundings. The photograph captures a moment in time, transporting us back to a bygone era, and offering a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of Japan. The attention to detail in this photograph is remarkable, from the intricate patterns on O-koto-san's kimono to the delicate folds of her obi belt, and the simple yet beautiful decor of her friend's home. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and grace of Japanese culture, and a reminder of the importance of tradition and respect in our daily lives.
