EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken in the late 19th century, showcases the grand facade of Kitano Shinto Temple in Kyoto, Japan. The image, which dates back to the Meiji Era (1868-1912), captures the temple's intricate and ornate architecture, with its bold red and gold colors standing out against the muted greens of the surrounding foliage. The public boards displayed outside the temple entrance suggest that this was a popular tourist destination even in the late 1800s. Kitano Shinto Temple, also known as Kiyomizu-dera, is one of the most famous and historic landmarks in Kyoto, and has been attracting visitors for centuries. The temple's unique design is a blend of traditional Japanese architecture and the influences of the Edo (1603-1868) and Meiji Eras. The temple's main hall, with its sweeping roof and intricate carvings, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during this period. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the bygone era of Victorian-era travel, with its horse-drawn carriages and traditional Japanese dress. The image invites us to imagine the experiences of early tourists as they explored the temples and landmarks of Japan, and to appreciate the enduring beauty and significance of this ancient culture.
