Supper Wagon

This second impression of Supper Wagon may represent a different colorway or a separate printing of the same subject, the two versions together indicating the popularity of the motif within Yoshida's travel print series. Street vendors and food wagons were consistent subjects in his documentary prints of foreign places, the images functioning both as aesthetic objects and as records of the material culture of the countries he visited. Each version of the print preserves a specific observation of commercial life in a specific place and time.
