EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases two of Japan's most revered religious sites: the Nikko Temples and the Daibutsu Buddha at Kamakura. Dating back to circa 1910, this image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of these sacred places. The Nikko Temples, located in the town of Nikko in Tochigi Prefecture, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and are renowned for their intricate carvings, vibrant colors, and ornate architecture. The temples are dedicated to the Shinto deity, Nikko Taro Fukasawa, and the Buddhist deity, Rai-jin. The inset photographs of the temples offer a closer look at their exquisite details, from the red fence that surrounds the sacred grounds to the intricate carvings adorning the temple walls. The Daibutsu Buddha at Kamakura, also known as the Great Buddha of Kamakura, is a bronze statue of Amida Buddha, located in the Kotokuin Temple. The statue, which dates back to 1252, is over 11 meters tall and is one of the most famous and iconic symbols of Japan. The inset photograph of the Daibutsu Buddha showcases its impressive size and intricate details, from the serene expression on its face to the intricate folds of its robe. The decorative background of this photograph adds to its beauty, featuring a stunning design of deer, a symbol of Shinto and Buddhist mythology. The deer are often associated with the god of the forest and are believed to bring good fortune and longevity. This photograph is not only a testament to the history and cultural significance of these sacred sites but also a work of art in its own right, with its beautiful and intricate decorative background.
