    Takahashi, K.: Three companions

    Est: €1,000 - €1,200

    Three companions. 1960s. 33 gelatin silver prints in linen-covered portfolio. Each between 10,3 x 16,2 cm and 18,5 cm x 28,5 cm (24 x 31 cm). Each signed "K. Takahashi" below image. This evocative photographic series by K. Takahashi offers an intimate portrayal of three elderly women, two of whom are blind, as they traverse rural Japan in the mid-20th century. Facing harsh conditions, the women rely on mutual support and resilience, guiding each other through rugged terrain while playing the shamisen in exchange for food and shelter. The collection is presented in an elegant portfolio featuring the kanji symbols for "goze," a term from the Edo period for blind female musicians who performed traditional music for their livelihood, a profession that became increasingly rare in modern Japan. – Some scuff marks and light discolouration on some prints, otherwise all in good to very good condition. - Sollten Sie detailliertere Zustandsberichte wünschen, kontaktieren Sie uns bitte. / Should you need more detailed condition reports, please contact us.
