EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the talented musicians of the pontifical chapel in Kyoto (or Kioto). The image depicts five individuals skillfully playing sacred instruments that hold great significance in Japanese culture. The composition beautifully showcases each musician's dedication to their craft. Positioned at the center is a flutist holding both a flute traversiere and a flute of pan, gracefully producing melodious notes. To their left, another musician blows into a marine conch, its unique sound resonating through the air. On the right side of the frame, two percussionists command attention with their instruments - one playing timpani and the other handling kakdaiko, an original gong. This engraving was created by Aime Humbert during his voyage to Japan between 1863-1864 as part of "Le tour du monde" a renowned journal of travels published under Edouard Charton's direction. It offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into Japanese music culture during this period. The print itself exudes historical charm with its delicate engravings and intricate details. Preserved within private collection archives, it serves as a testament to Leonard de Selva's passion for preserving art history. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness these skilled musicians performing sacred melodies that have echoed through generations. Their dedication and talent continue to inspire awe even today.
