EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from the late 19th century, a group of Shinto priests, dressed in their traditional robes and headdresses, are deeply engrossed in a game of Go, a strategic board game also known as "chequers" or "draughts" in the West. The serene setting of the image transports us back in time to Japan during the Meiji Era (1868-1912), an era marked by significant cultural and technological advancements. The priests, with their solemn expressions and focused demeanor, are seated around a low table, covered with a red cloth, on which rests the Go board. The board, consisting of 19x19 intersecting lines, is made of wood and is adorned with black and white stones. In the background, we can see a traditional Japanese landscape, with a beautiful archaic building and a serene body of water reflecting the surrounding scenery. The priests' clothing, with their long, flowing robes and distinctive headdresses, are reminiscent of the rich history and traditions of Shintoism, the indigenous religion of Japan. The architecture in the background, with its intricate details and ornate design, is a testament to Japan's unique cultural heritage. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the lives of these Shinto priests and the customs they held dear. The image also serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of traditional Japanese culture, even amidst the rapid modernization that was taking place during the late 19th century. This photograph, with its rich historical significance and stunning composition, is an essential addition to any collection of Asian or historical imagery. It is a must-have for anyone interested in Japan, Shintoism, or the history of board games.
