This photograph, titled "Kyoto. Shinto Monks" takes us on a mesmerizing journey to Japan in 1974. The lens of renowned photographer Quilici, Folco captures the essence of religious devotion and cultural heritage within this striking image. In the heart of Kyoto, we are transported to a sacred realm where Shinto monks reside. Dressed in their traditional attire, these monks exude an air of tranquility and wisdom that transcends time. Their clothing reflects both simplicity and elegance, with flowing robes adorned by intricate patterns that speak volumes about their spiritual significance. The headdresses worn by these monks add an aura of mystique to the scene. Each headpiece is meticulously crafted, symbolizing their devout commitment to their faith. These accessories not only serve as adornments but also carry deep symbolic meanings rooted in centuries-old traditions. As we delve deeper into this portrait, it becomes evident that every detail holds significance. The rope draped over one monk's shoulder signifies his elevated status within the religious hierarchy – a visual representation of his dedication and leadership role among his peers.
