EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Kiyomizu-Dera, an ancient temple nestled in the heart of Japan's Honshu island. Originally built in 798, this sacred site has stood as a symbol of spiritual devotion for over a thousand years. The present buildings, dating back to 1633, exude an air of tranquility and grace. In this particular moment frozen in time, we see a Shinto Priest adorned in traditional attire seeking donations from visitors. His presence is enhanced by the iconic bamboo hat that shields him from the elements while adding an element of mystique to his appearance. The Kansai region's rich cultural heritage comes alive through this image; it showcases not only the architectural marvels but also offers a glimpse into Japanese religious practices. The pagoda towering behind the priest serves as a testament to Japan's deep-rooted spirituality and reverence for nature. Gavin Hellier's expert lens beautifully captures every intricate detail - from the delicate wooden structures to the serene surroundings - transporting us to another era where tradition and modernity seamlessly coexist. Whether you are drawn by its historical significance or simply captivated by its ethereal charm, Kiyomizu-Dera stands as one of Japan's most cherished travel destinations. This awe-inspiring photograph invites you on a visual journey through time and space, leaving you with an indelible impression of Japan's cultural richness and spiritual legacy.
