EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait by Felice Beato takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Japan, where a Saki Seller entices customers with his unique and refreshing beverage. The scene is filled with vibrant colors that bring life to the image, capturing the essence of Japanese street trade. In this elliptical format photograph, we see a male vendor dressed in traditional clothing, skillfully pouring weak yet sweet rice beer into small cups for his eager patrons. The aroma of mint or salt fills the air as customers gather around him, eagerly sipping on their drinks and enjoying moments of respite from their busy lives. The Saki Seller himself exudes an air of expertise as he holds a pipe between his fingers, perhaps taking a momentary break from serving his loyal clientele. His weathered face tells tales of years spent perfecting his craft and catering to the diverse tastes of those who pass by. This snapshot provides us with a glimpse into everyday life in Asia during this era. It transports us to a time when tea was not just consumed indoors but also enjoyed on bustling streets among fellow locals and travelers alike. Felice Beato's masterful composition captures both the cultural significance and commercial nature of street vendors like this Saki Seller. It serves as a testament to the rich history and traditions that continue to shape Japanese society today.
