EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard image captures the second Christ Church in Yamate, Yokohama, Japan, as it stood proudly in the early 1910s. Designed by British architect Josiah Conder and consecrated in 1901, the imposing red Glasgow brick structure was a symbol of Christian faith in this bustling port city. The tranquility of the scene is further accentuated by the delicate pink hues of cherry blossoms, a cherished symbol of the orient. However, this serene image belies the tumultuous history of the church. Just over two decades later, on the morning of September 1st, 1923, the Great Kanto earthquake struck Japan with devastating force. The second Christ Church, much like the rest of Yokohama, was completely destroyed in the earthquake and subsequent fires. The image serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when cultural exchange between the East and the West was at its zenith. The architectural fusion of Scottish and Gothic influences, as embodied by the second Christ Church, is a testament to the rich cultural tapestry that once thrived in this part of the world. Today, as we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, to an era of exploration, discovery, and the blossoming of international relations.
