EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Tokyo" taken by renowned photographer Folco Quilici in 1985, we are transported to the bustling entrance of a Shinto temple in Japan's vibrant capital city. The image captures a harmonious blend of Japanese locals and curious tourists, all drawn to the spiritual allure of this sacred place. As our eyes wander through the frame, we witness an intriguing juxtaposition between tradition and modernity. In the foreground, Japanese people dressed in elegant kimonos gracefully make their way towards the temple's entrance. Their serene expressions reflect deep reverence for their cultural heritage and devotion to Shintoism. Amidst them, groups of enthusiastic tourists from different corners of the world can be seen eagerly exploring Tokyo's rich tapestry of history and spirituality. They stand out with their diverse attires and excited chatter as they embark on a journey into an unfamiliar realm. The surrounding urban landscape provides a striking backdrop for this scene. A business sign looms overhead while billboards dotting the street communicate messages that seem worlds away from this tranquil sanctuary. Yet somehow, these contrasting elements coexist harmoniously within Tokyo's dynamic fabric. Quilici masterfully captures not only human presence but also tangible objects that enhance our understanding of this momentous occasion: road signs guiding visitors along their path; furnishings thoughtfully placed for civic comfort; instruments symbolizing ancient rituals; all serving as reminders that communication takes many forms within this sacred space. This mesmerizing photograph invites us to contemplate both individual journeys and collective experiences – reminding us that amidst rapid globalization, there is still profound beauty in preserving traditions while embracing new horizons.
