EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1904, capturing the grandeur of Higashi Hongwanji, the largest Buddhist temple in Japan. Located in Kyoto, this magnificent structure had just been rebuilt at the time of this photograph. The image showcases a stunning facade that exudes tranquility and spirituality. In this outdoor scene, we see a diverse group of people gathered around the temple. Men, women, and children are all present, reflecting the inclusive nature of Buddhism. The presence of both locals and visitors from afar highlights how Higashi Hongwanji was not only a place for worship but also an important cultural landmark. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from history. It transports us to an era when stereoscopic photography was gaining popularity as a means to capture depth and dimensionality in images. As we gaze upon this print from The Underwood Travel Library - Japan collection by Underwood & Underwood, we can't help but marvel at the intricate architectural details that make up Higashi Hongwanji. This image serves as a reminder of Japan's rich religious heritage and its enduring commitment to preserving ancient traditions. Whether you're drawn to its historical significance or simply appreciate beautiful architecture, this print is sure to captivate anyone who sets their eyes upon it.
