EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Nihon Bashi, the 'London Bridge' of Tokio" in all its glory. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, takes us back to a time when Christian missionaries embarked on their noble quest in far-flung lands. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for "Conquests of the Cross: A Record of Missionary Work throughout the World" edited by Edwin Hodder. This publication aimed to shed light on the tireless efforts made by missionaries worldwide, including those who ventured into Tokyo, Japan. "The Nihon Bashi" often referred to as the "London Bridge" of Tokyo due to its resemblance to its British counterpart, stands tall and proud amidst bustling city life. It serves not only as a physical bridge connecting different parts of Tokyo but also symbolizes bridging cultures and religions. Christianity's influence is evident through this engraving; it highlights how religion played a significant role in shaping societies across Asia during that era. The presence of Christian values and teachings brought about new perspectives and beliefs among both Japanese locals and foreign settlers alike. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the rich tapestry woven between Christianity and Japan's cultural heritage—a testament to humanity's enduring pursuit for faith and understanding across continents.
