EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1904, capturing the majestic Yomeimon gate of the Buddhist Temple of Yakushi in Nikko, Japan. The renowned architectural masterpiece stands tall against a backdrop of lush greenery, showcasing intricate details that have withstood the test of time. Nikko is known for its rich religious history, and this image beautifully showcases one of its many Buddhist shrines. The temple itself dates back centuries, with some parts originating as far back as the 8th century. Its significance in Japanese Buddhism cannot be overstated. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see people dressed in traditional attire passing through the gate's entrance. Their presence adds a sense of scale and perspective to this already awe-inspiring structure. The roof's elaborate design draws our attention upward towards its ornate carvings and vibrant colors. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the timeless beauty captured by Underwood & Underwood, renowned photographers from that era. This stereoscopic card allows viewers to immerse themselves into a moment long gone but preserved forever on paper. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print today, we are reminded not only of Japan's architectural prowess but also its deep-rooted spiritual traditions that continue to shape its culture even now in the 21st century.
