Travel Views of Japan and Korea,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating photograph series by Arnold Genthe, transports us back in time to the early 1900s. This collection, taken in 1908, showcases the unique beauty and cultural richness of Japan and Korea. Genthe's lens captures various scenes of tranquil temples nestled amidst lush greenery, where the sound of wind chimes and the scent of incense fill the air. Buddhist monks can be seen tending to their temples, their robes blending seamlessly with the natural setting. In contrast, the stillness of a cemetery or graveyard is juxtaposed with the vibrant life of the surrounding countryside. The series also highlights the intricacy of Japanese and Korean architecture. Steps leading up to temples and shrines, adorned with intricate stone carvings, provide a sense of connection to the spiritual world. Trees, with their branches reaching towards the sky, stand as silent witnesses to the passage of time. The use of a nitrate negative adds to the timeless quality of these images, capturing the essence of a bygone era. The Library of Congress holds this precious collection, allowing us to explore the heritage and art of these two countries through the lens of Arnold Genthe. From the peaceful exterior of a temple to the solemnity of a graveyard, Genthe's Travel Views of Japan and Korea offer a glimpse into the natural and spiritual beauty of these two countries, providing a visual journey that transcends time and space.
