EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1900 showcases the serene beauty of Kurodani cemetery in Kyoto, Japan. The tombstones, intricately sculpted and adorned with delicate details, stand as silent testaments to the rich cultural heritage and deep spiritual beliefs of the Japanese people. The image captures a moment in time at this sacred burial ground, where Buddhism permeates every aspect of life and death. The vibrant colors bring to life the lush landscape surrounding the cemetery, contrasting against the somberness associated with death. Intriguingly, there are background figures present in this photograph. They add an element of mystery and intrigue - who are they? What brings them to this place? Are they mourners paying respects or simply passersby captivated by its ethereal atmosphere? The photogravure technique used for this print adds depth and texture to each carved tombstone, allowing viewers to appreciate their intricate craftsmanship even more. It is a testament not only to the skill of those who created these works but also serves as a reminder that death can be seen as an art form itself. As we gaze upon this image over a century later, it transports us back in time while reminding us of our own mortality. It invites contemplation on life's impermanence and encourages us to find solace in spirituality amidst our earthly existence.
