EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, a visitor takes a serene stroll past an enchanting display of paper lanterns during the Mitama Festival at the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo. The year is 2007, and as dusk settles over the shrine's precincts, more than 29,000 lanterns illuminate the night sky with their soft glow. Each lantern represents a soul honored and remembered during this four-day festival. The Yasukuni Shrine holds great historical significance as it enshrines over 2.4 million war-dead from Japan's turbulent past. As visitors wander through this sacred space, they are enveloped by an atmosphere of reverence and remembrance. The vibrant colors of the paper lanterns create a mesmerizing spectacle against the darkening backdrop. They symbolize hope and guide these souls on their spiritual journey beyond earthly realms. Captured by Issei Kato for Reuters Images, this photograph encapsulates both tranquility and solemnity. It invites us to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who have come before us while celebrating their lives during this poignant festival. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel ourselves transported to that moment in time – immersed in tradition, surrounded by flickering lights that bridge our world with theirs.
