The End of the Day and the End of the Festival by Mortimer Menpes. 1901. Watercolor. Source: Japan: A Record in Colour, facing p. 60. Menpes captures the flat feeling at the end of an event, when participants straggle home in a desultory fashion. Yet these are family groups, and the closeness and little courtesies of family life in Japan seem to have touched Menpes immensely. — Jacqueline Banerjee
