THE SILK STORE -- Two Japanese Girls Start from Scratch, Dreaming of a New Kimono in Old Japan

The man on the right is calculating prices with his SOROBAN (abacus).

This photo was taken Ca.1870s, when men were still wearing the "Chonmage" hairstyle. Although such top-knot hairstyles were actually prohibited in the early 1870s, the Government was not stringent about enforcing it, and it can still be seen on many young men in images made throughout the 1870s, and even on some really old characters in the 1880s.

They Killed Queen Min and Hacked Off Our Hair (Portrait as Joseon ancestor during 단발령 / Short Hair Ordinance of 1895)

All of our kin in Korea still have their heads shaved bare during their compulsory military service as young adults. Our grandfather's great-grandfathers' would have been the last generation to wear a 상투 sangtu, a standard-issue topknot that died by tantō blade alongside Queen Min and Korea's last unified, autonomous period (1392–1897). Perhaps uncoincidentally, the 丁髷 chonmage (Japanese topknot) went extinct a few years earlier with the Dampatsurei Edict of 1871 during the Meiji Restoration (there's always a J-wave ahead of a K-wave).

This is a gallery-quality giclée art print on 100% cotton rag archival paper, printed with archival inks.
