EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the serene Hasedera Temple in Kamakura, Honshu, Japan. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the mesmerizing sight of hundreds of jizo statues lined up in perfect formation. These male-like sculptures stand tall with a sense of tranquility and spirituality that is deeply rooted in Japanese culture. The play of light and shadow adds an ethereal quality to this indoor scene, enhancing the spiritual ambiance within the temple walls. With no people present, one can fully immerse themselves in the profound stillness and contemplate their own journey towards enlightenment. Jizo statues hold great significance in Buddhism as protectors of travelers and guardians of children's souls. Each statue represents a departed soul or unborn child seeking salvation on its path to nirvana. The sheer number of these statues creates a powerful visual impact, symbolizing collective prayers for peace and well-being. As we explore this remarkable travel destination through Tillman Leander Caspar Schlageter's lens, we cannot help but feel humbled by the rich history and cultural heritage that permeates every inch of this sacred place. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst bustling cities like Tokyo or Kyoto, there are hidden gems where one can find solace and connect with ancient traditions.
