Hangende lampionnen, Japan, Ed van der Elsken, 1959 - 1960

The image depicts a group of people participating in what appears to be a traditional ceremony or ritual. They are standing on the sidewalk outside, with several individuals holding up lanterns attached to vertical posts. These lanterns seem densely packed and contain numerous small white papers, which could represent prayers or wishes often seen in Japanese Shinto shrines during festivals like Higanbana (Festival of Light). The participants wear dark uniforms that suggest they might be part of an organized group, possibly military-related given the style. The backdrop shows a traditional building with tiled roofing and wooden beams, characteristic of historical structures found throughout Japan. It is likely taken in urban Japan due to the paved streets visible on both sides of the subjects. No specific cultural markers are clearly identifiable beyond these general observations that suggest Japanese tradition. The image appears monochromatic, suggesting it might be from a past era
