EDITORS COMMENTS
The Road to the Temple, c1887 (1901) captures a vibrant scene in Japan during the late 19th century. In this print by Mortimer L Menpes, we are transported to a bustling street filled with people dressed in traditional Japanese costumes. The wooden architecture of the buildings adds to the charm and authenticity of this picturesque location. Amidst the crowd, we see women and children going about their daily activities, creating a sense of liveliness and movement. The road is busy with pedestrians making their way towards the temple, highlighting its significance as a religious site. The color palette chosen by Menpes brings out the rich browns and earthy tones that dominate this scene. It beautifully showcases both the traditional dress worn by locals and the architectural elements that define Japanese culture. This print is part of Menpes' publication 'Japan - A Record in Colour', which offers an intimate glimpse into Japan's unique heritage through his artistic lens. As we admire this image from over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of how traditions have evolved while still maintaining their essence. 'The Road to the Temple' invites us on a visual journey back in time, capturing not just an era but also encapsulating Japan's deep-rooted cultural identity.
