EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Boiling Eggs at the Sacred Hot Springs of Beppu, Japan" 2.. The image captures a serene moment at the renowned Beppu Hot Springs in Japan, a city founded in 1924 and famous for its onsen (hot springs), which are deeply rooted in Japanese culture and regarded as sacred. Beppu is Japan's onsen capital, boasting the largest volume of hot water in the world, apart from Yellowstone in the United States, and the largest number of hot spring sources in the country. The sign in the foreground advertises the unique experience of boiling eggs in the natural hot spring waters. The city's nine major geothermal hot spots, sometimes referred to as the "nine hells of Beppu," are a testament to the area's rich volcanic activity. The women in the photograph delicately place eggs into a basket, ready to be lowered into the steaming hot water. The heat from the springs cooks the eggs, resulting in a distinctive, naturally cooked delicacy. The steam rises from the hot water, creating a surreal atmosphere that highlights the harmony between nature and human interaction. This photograph, taken circa 1930, offers a glimpse into the timeless tradition of enjoying the therapeutic benefits of Beppu's hot springs while engaging in a simple yet enjoyable activity. It is a reminder of the deep connection between the Japanese people and their reverence for the natural world.
