EDITORS COMMENTS
Travel Views of Japan and Korea," captured by Arnold Genthe in 1908, presents a captivating collection of black-and-white images that transport us back in time to the early 20th century. This series of photographs showcases the unique beauty and cultural richness of two Asian nations, Japan and Korea, as seen through the lens of a master photographer. The first image in this series depicts an impressive entrance to a Shinto shrine in Japan. The torii gate, with its distinctive red and white paint, stands tall against a backdrop of lush green trees and a clear blue sky. The natural setting is further enhanced by the intricately carved stone lanterns that line the path leading to the shrine. The lighting, both natural and artificial, adds depth and dimension to the scene, creating a sense of mystery and wonder. The next photograph takes us to Korea, where we find ourselves in front of a traditional Korean temple. Once again, the natural setting plays a significant role in the composition, with trees and plants framing the temple and providing a sense of tranquility and peace. The lanterns, both hanging from the temple walls and placed on the ground, add a touch of warmth and invite us to explore further. These images, taken from the "Travel Views of Japan and Korea" series by Arnold Genthe, offer a glimpse into the heritage and art of these two countries during a time when they were still largely unexplored by the Western world. The use of black-and-white photography adds to the timeless quality of these images, making them a valuable addition to any collection of historical and cultural photography. Taken on nitrate negatives, these photographs have been preserved in the Library of Congress, ensuring that future generations can continue to appreciate the beauty and richness of Japan and Korea as captured by Arnold Genthe in 1908.
