EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the medieval moated castle of Japanese princes, located in Nagoya, Japan. Taken by Underwood & Underwood in 1896, this stunning image captures the grandeur and historical significance of this architectural marvel. Built between 1610-1612 during the reign of Shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa, this fortress served as a stronghold for centuries. Occasionally used by the Mikado himself, it held great importance within Japanese history and culture. Sadly, this magnificent castle was destroyed during an American air raid on Nagoya in May 1945. However, its resilience prevailed as it was meticulously rebuilt in the 1950s to restore its former glory. The photograph's monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to the image while emphasizing intricate details such as the majestic roof and sturdy walls that once defended against any threat. The surrounding landscape further enhances the beauty of this location. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of its architectural brilliance but also of Japan's rich heritage. It stands as a testament to human determination and preservation amidst adversity. Underwood & Underwood has masterfully captured both history and artistry through their lens with this remarkable piece. This print serves as a window into another era – transporting us back to a time when castles like these were symbols of power and protection.
