EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "AVQ-A-000887-0028" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the ancient city of Edo, now known as Tokyo. The image showcases the magnificent hundred-step stairway that leads to Attango-yama, also referred to as the Mount of the God Attango. In the foreground stands an elegant Torii entrance door, its intricate design hinting at the rich cultural heritage of Japan. Ascending the stairs with grace and poise is a samurai, his presence exuding strength and honor. Atop one of the columns supporting the Torii door sits a local resident, seemingly immersed in contemplation amidst this awe-inspiring scenery. The photograph was captured between 1863 and 1877 by Beato Felice or someone attributed to him. It beautifully captures not only architectural elements such as stairs and buildings but also highlights various aspects of Japanese culture and society during that era. The surrounding landscape features lush wooded areas, adding a touch of serenity to this bustling metropolis. Trees sway gently in harmony with nature's rhythm while vibrant vegetation adorns every corner. This image serves as more than just a visual representation; it provides valuable insights into anthropology, ethnography, folklore, and even nationality within Asian populations. Its historical significance cannot be understated – transporting us back in time to witness life during this period. As we admire this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection without any commercial intent mentioned here let us appreciate how art can bridge gaps between different cultures and generations - reminding us all of our shared humanity regardless of where we come from or who we are today.
