EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Miyajima, Japan. The image beautifully captures the essence of traditional Japanese architecture, with its wooden structure and vibrant colors. A close-up view allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this cultural gem. The focal point of the photograph is a bamboo spoon or ladle, known as a water dipper, which holds great significance in religious rituals. It symbolizes purification and is used for cleansing before entering sacred spaces. This element adds depth to the composition and highlights the strong connection between religion and daily life in Japan. The serene atmosphere portrayed in this image invites viewers to immerse themselves in Japanese culture and tradition. The shrine's location on Miyajima Island further enhances its allure, as it stands majestically against a backdrop of natural beauty. As we gaze upon this vertical shot taken during daylight hours, we are reminded of Japan's rich history and spiritual heritage. Itsukushima Shrine continues to be an important place of interest for tourists from around the world who seek to explore both ancient traditions and modern marvels. Michael Runkel/Robert Harding masterfully captured not only a remarkable architectural wonder but also conveyed the essence of Japanese spirituality through his photography.
