Drie vrouwen in traditionele Japanse kleding op ene bank onder kersenbloesem c. 1895 - 1905

This color photograph, "Drie vrouwen in traditionele Japanse kleding op ene bank onder kersenbloesem," by Kōzaburō Tamamura (1856-1923), depicts three women in traditional Japanese clothing seated on a bench beneath a cherry blossom tree. Created between 1895 and 1905, the image captures the beauty of the cherry blossom season and the elegance of Japanese dress. The vibrant pink blossoms contrast with the muted greens and browns of the surrounding foliage, creating a serene and harmonious scene. Tamamura's work often focused on capturing daily life and traditional scenes in Japan, providing a valuable glimpse into the social and cultural practices of the time.
