EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Beato Felice, titled "MFC-A-004626-0017" takes us back to the years between 1865 and 1870 in Japan. The image showcases a full-length portrait of two Japanese priests belonging to the 'Nitchi-Re-Shu' sect. Standing in profile, they exude an air of tranquility and spiritual devotion. Dressed in long garments with voluminous sleeves, these priests epitomize traditional Japanese fashion and clothing. Their attire is meticulously crafted, reflecting their religious significance and cultural heritage. Completing their ensemble are high clogs that elevate them both physically and symbolically. In their hands, they hold rosaries - sacred beads used for prayer and meditation. These simple yet powerful objects serve as a reminder of their devout commitment to spirituality. The backdrop against which this portrait unfolds remains unseen but adds an intriguing element of mystery to the scene. It leaves room for our imagination to wander through ancient temples or serene natural landscapes where these priests might have found solace. Beato Felice's lens captures not only the essence of religious devotion but also provides valuable insights into Japan's modern history, its diverse populations, territories, and ethnic traditions. This photograph becomes a window into another time - a testament to the rich tapestry of human existence across different cultures. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Alinari's collection, we are transported beyond borders and timeframes; we become witnesses to moments frozen forever on paper – moments that continue to resonate with us today as reminders of our shared humanity and our collective journey towards understanding one another better.
