EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century albumen print, titled "Chion In, 1865," showcases the breathtaking exterior of Chion-in Temple, located in Kyoto, Kinki, Japan. The temple, founded in 1593, is renowned for its significant role in Japanese Buddhism and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Kyoto. The image, hand colored or hand tinted, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the temple's architecture was a marvel of its era. The intricately designed building facade, adorned with vibrant colors, stands proudly against a clear blue sky. The temple's grand staircase, leading up to the main hall, is filled with figures, adding a sense of scale and activity to the scene. Chion-in Temple is a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage and religious history. The temple's name, Chion-in, translates to "Temple of the Clear Sound of the Bell," and is famous for its massive bell, which is rung only during special ceremonies. This photograph, taken in 1865, is a valuable historical document, providing us with a unique perspective of the temple's appearance during the nineteenth century. The image is now part of the extensive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the history and culture of Japan.
