EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by Underwood & Underwood in 1904, transports us to the serene Kinkaku-ji Temple garden in Kyoto, Japan. The image showcases a group of women gracefully strolling through the picturesque landscape, adorned in traditional kimonos that beautifully complement their surroundings. The Kinkaku-ji Temple itself holds a rich history dating back to its founding in 1397. Despite enduring destruction during the Onin War and a tragic fire caused by a monk's suicide attempt in 1950, this sacred Buddhist temple was resiliently rebuilt and stands as an iconic symbol of resilience. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness these women engaging with their environment respectfully. With parasols shielding them from the sun's rays, they traverse along winding paths surrounded by lush plants and towering trees. Their attire reflects both elegance and tradition as they pay homage to their religious beliefs within this tranquil setting. As we delve into this monochromatic scene captured over a century ago, it is evident that nature plays an integral role not only within Japanese culture but also within Buddhism itself. This photograph serves as a testament to the harmonious relationship between people and their natural surroundings. Underwood & Underwood has skillfully preserved this moment for us to appreciate today—a glimpse into the lives of these women who found solace amidst the beauty of Kinkaku-ji Temple garden.
