The End of the Day and the End of the Festival
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print captured by artist Mortimer L Menpes in 1887. This vibrant image, featured in his publication "Japan - A Record in Colour" transports us to a rural Japanese countryside during a festive event. As dusk settles, we witness an enchanting scene filled with people from all walks of life. In this snapshot, women clad in traditional kimonos gracefully mingle with men and children amidst colorful stalls. The atmosphere is alive with laughter and excitement as families come together to celebrate the end of a joyous day-long festival. The warm hues that permeate the print evoke a sense of tranquility and contentment. Menpes skillfully captures not only the beauty of Japan's landscape but also its rich cultural heritage. His attention to detail allows us to appreciate every intricate pattern on garments worn by both men and women alike. Through this photograph, he offers us a glimpse into 19th-century Japan, showcasing its unique customs and traditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, it becomes evident that Menpes was not merely an observer but rather an admirer deeply immersed in Japanese culture. His ability to convey emotions through color brings this momentous occasion vividly back to life over a century later. "The End of the Day and the End of the Festival" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical document—a testament to Menpes' talent as well as his dedication towards preserving Japan's cultural legacy for generations to come.
