EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 1865 albumen print hand-colored image captures the exterior of Hon Mura Temple, a significant Buddhist temple located in Yokohama, Kanto, Japan. The temple, which translates to "Temple in the Green Grove," is a beautiful example of Japanese architecture from the nineteenth century. The temple's facade is adorned with intricate details, including ornate carvings and vibrant hand-tinted colors. The building's roof, with its distinctive curved design, is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the artisans who built it. The temple's stairs, leading up to the entrance, add a sense of grandeur and invite visitors to ascend and explore the temple's inner sanctum. Hon Mura Temple is an essential part of Japan's rich cultural heritage, reflecting the country's deep-rooted history and religious traditions. The temple's preservation is a testament to the importance of maintaining and celebrating the past. This image, taken in 1865, provides a rare glimpse into Japan's past, offering a window into a time when such temples were a common sight in the landscape. Today, Hon Mura Temple stands as a reminder of the country's rich history and the enduring influence of Buddhism on Japanese culture. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is the current home of this historic image, which is a valuable addition to its extensive collection of heritage art and historical artifacts. The museum's acquisition of this image further solidifies its position as a leading institution dedicated to preserving and sharing the world's artistic and cultural heritage.
