EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "AVQ-A-003053-0235" transports us to the enchanting Itsukushima Shinto sanctuary on the picturesque Island of Miyajima in Japan. The image captures the essence of this famous religious structure, known for its awe-inspiring architecture and spiritual significance. In the foreground, we catch a glimpse of a solitary figure standing on the shore with their back turned towards us. This mysterious presence adds an air of intrigue and invites us to imagine their thoughts as they gaze upon this sacred site. At the heart of the picture lies a traditional boat gracefully floating on calm waters. Manned by two oarsmen, it serves as a symbol of transportation and connection between earthly existence and divine realms. The juxtaposition of human craftsmanship against nature's serene backdrop creates a harmonious scene that speaks volumes about Japanese culture and reverence for natural beauty. Dating back to around 1880-1890, this photograph offers us a window into history, capturing not only an architectural marvel but also glimpses into daily life during that era. It reminds us that while time may pass, some places retain their allure throughout centuries. The Itsukushima Shinto sanctuary stands as testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage and non-Christian religious traditions. With its striking landscape featuring lagoons and majestic structures rising from water's edge, it is no wonder why visitors from all over flock here seeking solace or spiritual enlightenment. This remarkable artwork provides valuable insights into Japanese anthropology, ethnography, folklore while showcasing Asiatic populations' unique customs and beliefs. Though created by an unidentified author from Alinari - not mentioning commercial use - its impact transcends any individual or company; instead offering viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in Japan's timeless beauty through one mesmerizing snapshot.
