The image is a black and white photograph capturing a dynamic moment on stage. The main subject appears to be two performers, likely dancers or theatrical actors engaged in an energetic performance. One figure is captured mid-leap with their limbs extended dramatically, suggesting motion and perhaps part of a dance routine. Their hair seems caught in the wind, adding to the sense of movement. The second performer stands near them, possibly interacting or preparing for their own move within the choreography. They are partially obscured by shadows and appear less focused than the central figure, which draws attention away from them but still contributes to the overall scene's atmosphere. In addition to the performers on stage, there is a person off to one side of the image who seems to be part of an audience or perhaps another performer waiting for their turn. This individual stands out due to being in relative darkness compared with the illuminated figures and adds depth by indica

The image is a black and white photograph capturing a group of people gathered around an older model computer, which appears to be from the early 1980s or late 1970s. The setting seems to be a classroom or lab within Kyoto University in Japan during May 1985. Multiple individuals are standing and sitting closely together, with some looking intently at the screen of the computer as they engage in what appears to be collaborative work or study. The group is diverse, including both men and women wearing suits, business casual attire, and more casual clothing like a grey sweatshirt. Many have name tags on their lapels indicating that this might be an organized event such as a conference or workshop involving students from Groningen University in the Netherlands visiting Kyoto University for academic purposes. The atmosphere is one of focused attention and collaboration among participants. The presence of various age groups suggests different levels of experience with technology, whic

Erotische Japanse tijdschriften, Tokyo, Ed van der Elsken, c. 1982

http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/RP-F-2019-298-17-32

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an assortment of Japanese comic books, magazines, or "manga," spread out on a surface. The comics feature various characters in different poses and expressions, with some panels showing text as well. Some of the visible titles include names such as "Tenchou Hattori" (探偵刑事ハットウリ), which suggests these are crime fiction manga featuring Detective Chief Tenchou Hattori. The comic books appear to be stacked haphazardly on top of each other, creating a sense of disarray. The layout and the way they are piled suggest that this could have been captured during or after someone was browsing through them. Given their variety in style and content, it seems like an eclectic mix catering to different tastes within manga culture. This photograph by Ed van der Elsken likely aims to capture a slice of Japanese pop culture from around 1982 when the image is believed to have been taken based on its inclusion in the "Rotease Japanse tijdschriften" c

Portret van een onbekende Japanse man met gezichtsmasker, Ed van der Elsken, 1959

http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/RP-F-2019-298-1-33

The image is a black and white photograph of an individual wearing glasses, with the lower half of their face obscured by a light-colored surgical mask. The person appears to be older, as suggested by the visible lines on their forehead and around the eyes within the eyeglass frames. They are also wearing what seems to be a cap or head covering that is wrinkled in texture, which could indicate movement during photography. The background of the photo is blurred, drawing focus towards the individual's face. The lighting creates strong contrasts between light and shadow on their features, particularly around the eyes framed by glasses. There is no discernible context or setting visible to provide additional information about where this image was taken or what it represents beyond its subject.

The image depicts a person wearing glasses, with their face partially obscured by a medical mask and scarf. The individual is also seen wearing a cap or hat that appears to be made of fabric, possibly cotton. The photograph has a monochromatic appearance, predominantly in shades of gray, suggesting it may have been taken during the 20th century, potentially related to historical contexts such as wartime measures or public health concerns like pandemics. The mask is notable for having red marks on it, which might indicate some kind of notation or mark made after the photograph was captured. The person's expression and posture are not fully visible due to the face being covered by the mask and scarf, adding a layer of mystery to their identity and intentions at the time when the photo seems to have been taken. The image carries historical significance as it could reflect the conditions during specific periods in history where such preventive measures were common. The presence of wh

The image is a diptych of black and white photographs with handwritten red numbers indicating the sequence or identification. In each photo, two individuals are depicted walking on what appears to be an urban street during daylight hours. The left photograph shows three people: one man in dark clothing carrying a drink, another holding hands with a woman wearing ear muffs, and another man dressed similarly but without accessories. They appear candidly captured, possibly during daily life activities. The right photo features two individuals walking apart on the sidewalk; the person closest to the camera is facing left while the other looks forward. Both are clad in coats appropriate for cool weather with visible wear or dirt marks, suggesting a street scene rather than a posed shot. Various signs and storefronts provide context of an urban environment. The handwritten numbers '10' and '92', as well as 'gol.' followed by another unreadable number, could suggest either chronological

Portret van een onbekende Japanse man met gezichtsmasker, Ed van der Elsken, 1959

http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/RP-F-2019-298-30-10

The image depicts a close-up of an individual wearing glasses and a face mask, creating the appearance that only their eyes are visible. The person is also dressed in what appears to be a hat or cap with some textural details on it. Below the chin area where the mouth should be, there's a cloth tied around the neck which contributes to a sense of privacy or anonymity. This style of photography was often used during times like war conflicts and pandemics as seen by contemporary works such "A Japanese Man With Face Mask" from 1959 by Ed van der Elsken where it reflects societal concerns about health, safety, identity concealment, and the blending in public spaces amidst a crisis. The grayscale tones of this photo highlight contrasts between light and shadow, focusing attention on facial expressions or elements that convey emotion or message without revealing personal details such as race, age, gender, etc., thus adhering to sensitive portrayal practices typical for many historical photog

The image is a black and white photograph featuring an individual with shoulder-length curly hair, smiling at the camera. The person appears to be wearing dark clothing with a light-colored collar that suggests layered garments or accessories such as a scarf or neckerchief. In the background, there's a faint reflection of what seems like another figure standing near a window. The overall lighting is soft and diffused, creating gentle shadows on the subject’s face and hands. This photograph evokes an intimate atmosphere with its close-up framing and use of negative space to emphasize the person in focus.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an interior scene, likely from the 1960s or earlier based on its style. It appears to be taken inside a public building such as a department store or shopping center during Christmas season, indicated by the festive decorations including reindeer silhouettes and snowflakes in the upper left corner with "merry christmas" written above them. Several people are visible within the space; two individuals can be seen descending on an escalator towards the lower part of the image. Another person is standing at a ticket booth or information desk, while several others appear to be walking through the area. The environment includes signage in Japanese characters, suggesting that this scene takes place in Japan. The lighting creates a contrast between illuminated areas and darker surroundings, with artificial light sources casting shadows on the subjects and architectural features. Overall, it captures a moment of daily life within an urban se

The image displays a black and white photograph of several fish, specifically Japanese barracuda or similar species, arranged on what appears to be ice within a tray. These fish are elongated with pointed snouts and large eyes, typical characteristics for this type of seafood. The focus is primarily on the freshness indicated by their placement in an icy environment which suggests they may have been recently caught. In addition to the visual display of the fish, there's also text present that seems to be a label or note placed over them. It appears hand-written and contains both English numbers ("$90") and Japanese characters, likely indicating price information related to these seafood items. The background is indistinct but hints at additional seafood products which are not clearly discernible. The overall composition of the photograph captures elements typical in markets where fresh fish would be sold, emphasizing the immediacy and quality of the product through its presentati

The image captures a close-up of someone's feet wearing traditional Japanese geta sandals. The person appears to be standing on tiled flooring, and the shadows cast by their legs create geometric patterns across the surface. The monochromatic tone of the photograph emphasizes contrast between light and shadow, giving it a dramatic effect. This style is often associated with documentary or street photography that focuses on capturing everyday life in Japan during the 1980s.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting a family of four on what appears to be an urban street. The setting suggests it may have been taken in Japan, as indicated by the presence of Japanese signage in the background. Two adults are walking with two children; all members wear traditional attire. The adult leading from left to right seems older than 30 years old and wears a kimono-like garment over casual clothing, holding hands with one child. This suggests they could be parents or relatives responsible for taking care of the children during this outing. The first child appears younger, possibly around seven years old, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing known as a yukata, which is similar to a kimono but lighter and typically worn during summer festivals such as Bon Odori. Following closely behind are two other adults. One adult on the right side of the image seems older than 30 or perhaps middle-aged, wearing what looks like a suit jacket over casual clothin
