EDITORS COMMENTS

Taken by Herbert Ponting, a renowned photographer and explorer, this image captures the ethereal beauty of the famous Kiyomizu-Dera temple bathed in moonlight. The architectural details of the temple are highlighted against the misty night sky, creating a sense of tranquility and mystery. The traditional dress worn by the men adds to the authenticity of this scene, reminding us of Japan's rich cultural heritage. Ponting's expertise in capturing celestial bodies is evident as he skillfully incorporates the moon into his composition. The lunar glow casts an enchanting light on the temple's eaves and railings, emphasizing its sacredness within Japanese Buddhism. As we gaze upon this photograph from "In Lotus-Land Japan" we are transported to a different era where tradition meets spirituality.
