EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "AVQ-A-004838-0037" we are transported back in time to the enchanting world of Nikko, Japan during the late 19th century. The image showcases a serene landscape adorned with an array of Jizo statues, each one exuding a sense of tranquility and spiritual significance. As our gaze wanders through the frame, we are drawn to the meandering river courses that gracefully flow amidst the lush greenery. The landscape itself seems to be imbued with a mystical aura, inviting us to explore its hidden secrets and immerse ourselves in its natural beauty. The presence of these Jizo statues serves as a poignant reminder of Japan's rich cultural heritage and non-Christian religious traditions. These intricately crafted sculptures stand tall against the backdrop of nature, symbolizing protection and guidance for those who pass by. They represent not only works of art but also serve as powerful symbols within Japanese folklore and ethnography. Through this photograph attributed to Power Sir James, we catch a glimpse into the lives of Asiatic populations residing in Nikko during this era. It offers us an opportunity to delve into their customs, beliefs, and way of life - all encapsulated within this single snapshot frozen in time. Alinari has beautifully preserved this historical gem from 1890-1899 for future generations to appreciate and learn from. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Power Sir James' lens, let us reflect on how photography can transcend time and space while allowing us to connect with diverse cultures across continents.
