EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to circa 1910, showcases a Mounted 28cm Howitzer, a formidable artillery piece, dedicated to Ise Jingu, a renowned Shinto shrine in Japan. The image offers a glimpse into the country's rich military history during a pivotal period, as Japan prepared for the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905). The Howitzer, with its long barrel and intricate details, is mounted on a carriage, ready for deployment. The gun's size and power are evident, as are the numerous shells stacked nearby, symbolizing the potential destruction it could unleash. The port setting of the photograph adds to the image's historical significance, as it was from these very shores that the Japanese fleet sailed to challenge the Russian naval dominance in the Pacific. The Russo-Japanese War was a turning point in Japanese history, marking the country's emergence as a major world power. The conflict, which took place between 1904 and 1905, saw Japan secure a decisive victory over Russia, resulting in the Treaty of Portsmouth and the end of Russian presence in Manchuria and Korea. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Japan's military past and the sacrifices made during times of war. The dedication of the Howitzer to Ise Jingu, a significant Shinto shrine, highlights the deep-rooted spiritual connection between the Japanese people and their military forces. The image is a testament to the historical significance of Ise Jingu and its role in Japan's military and cultural heritage.
