EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Kobe, Nanko Temple" takes us on a visual journey to 19th century Japan. Captured by an anonymous European photographer, this image showcases the architectural beauty of Nanko Temple in Kobe. The temple stands as a testament to the rich religious heritage of Japan, specifically Shintoism. The monochromatic tones add depth and timelessness to the photograph, allowing us to immerse ourselves in its historical significance. This particular print was featured in George Schurhammer's book "Shin-To: The Way of the Gods in Japan" published under his pseudonym Kurt Schroeder in 1923. As we gaze at this image, we are transported into a world where tradition and spirituality intertwine seamlessly. The intricate details of the temple's design highlight the skillful craftsmanship that went into its construction. It serves as a reminder of how architecture can be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Nanko Temple represents more than just bricks and mortar; it symbolizes devotion and reverence towards kami no michi (the way of gods). Its presence is not only significant for Kobe but also for all those who appreciate Asian culture and history. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now admire this remarkable piece from their private collection. Let this photograph inspire you to explore the wonders of Japanese temples while appreciating their profound influence on religion and society throughout centuries past.
