EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, captured in the late 19th century during the Meiji era in Japan, presents a breathtaking view of the waterfront of Hiroshima, a town nestled on Honshu Island. The image showcases a panoramic scene of the tranquil river, dotted with wharves and boats, that once bustled with activity. The grand architecture of the buildings and towering church along the riverbank add to the urban landscape's historic charm. Hiroshima, now a modern city known for its resilience and recovery from the devastating atomic bombing during World War II, once looked very different from this serene and picturesque scene. The boats and ships in the harbor, with their sails billowing in the wind, were a common sight, as was the marina teeming with activity. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of Hiroshima and the architectural grandeur of the Victorian era. The aerial perspective offers a unique and captivating view of the cityscape, inviting us to imagine the daily life and bustling commerce that once took place along the waterfront. The combination of the river, sea, and sky creates a stunning and timeless image, making it a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese history, architecture, or simply appreciating the beauty of a bygone era.
