Travel Views of Japan and Korea
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photographic series captured by Arnold Genthe in 1908. This collection of images transports us back in time to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan and Korea. The photograph showcases a striking contrast between the exterior facades of buildings, gates, and shrines in both countries. In Japan, we see a Shinto shrine with its intricately carved wooden doors, adorned with delicate handicrafts and decorative carvings. The doors, a way in to the sacred place, are a testament to the country's deep-rooted traditions and religious practices. In Korea, we are greeted by a temple entrance with tall, hand-carved wooden gates. The gates, a common feature in Korean temples, are intricately decorated with intricate designs and patterns, reflecting the country's unique artistic heritage. The use of wood carving as a form of handicraft is evident in the detailed decoration of the temple's exterior. The photograph, taken as a nitrate negative, captures the essence of the countries' architectural and artistic heritage. The buildings and structures, bathed in the soft light of the 1900s, exude a timeless beauty that continues to captivate viewers even today. The image, a part of the "Travel Views of Japan and Korea" series by Arnold Genthe, is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress's collection, offering a unique perspective into the history and culture of these two fascinating countries.
