November 1928, Beppu, Japan: A Glimpse into the Past through the Eyes of a British Navy Sailor This postcard, sent from Beppu, Japan in November 1928, bears the image of an immense statue of Buddha, serenely overlooking the city from atop a hill. The sender of this postcard was a British Navy sailor serving on HMS Suffolk. Beppu, located on the island of Kyushu, is renowned for its hot springs and is one of Japan's most popular tourist destinations. The statue of Buddha, a symbol of peace and enlightenment, adds to the spiritual allure of this city. The photograph captures the tranquility and grandeur of the statue, which stands tall against the backdrop of the city and the clear blue sky. The intricate details of the Buddha's robes and facial features are visible, making it an awe-inspiring sight. The postcard also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the 1920s, a time of cultural exchange and exploration between the East and the West. The sailor's message on the reverse of the postcard, now faded with time, adds a personal touch to this historical artifact. The statue of Buddha in Beppu is a testament to the enduring influence of Buddhism in Japanese culture. It continues to draw visitors from all over the world, who come to seek peace, enlightenment, and a deeper understanding of this ancient spiritual tradition.
