EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts the Temple of Kannon at Mizusawa, a significant religious site in Japan founded over a thousand years ago. Located in the Kanto region, Mizusawa Temple is one of the 33 sites on the Kanto Kannon Pilgrimage, a spiritual journey that draws thousands of visitors each year. The temple complex is home to numerous well-maintained religious buildings, each offering a unique perspective. Perched on the mountain side, the temple provides breathtaking views from various vantage points. At its heart is a temple devoted to Kannon, the compassionate goddess of Japanese Buddhism. An 11-faced, thousand-armed statue of the deity serves as the temple's primary object of worship, although it is never publicly displayed. Mizusawa Temple, with its rich history and spiritual significance, is a testament to Japan's deep-rooted cultural traditions. This stunning lantern slide, captured in the late 1890s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to experience the tranquility and reverence of this sacred place.
