EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the solemn beauty of Lushun Baiyu Tower, a monument built in honor of the 20,000 Japanese war casualties at Ryojun (now known as Lushunkou) during the Russo-Japanese War. The tower stands tall and proud on a clifftop overlooking Port Arthur, serving as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought in this historic conflict.
Constructed by the Japanese after their victory in the war, Lushun Baiyu Tower is a symbol of remembrance and respect for the fallen soldiers who gave their lives for their country. The intricate design of the tower reflects both Japanese architectural style and traditional Chinese influences, blending seamlessly into its surroundings on Baiyun Hill.
As one gazes upon this photograph from the 1930s, they can almost feel the weight of history that hangs heavy over Lushun Baiyu Tower. It serves as not only a physical structure but also as a testament to the enduring legacy of those who perished in battle. This image is a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and an opportunity to reflect on our shared history with empathy and understanding.
