EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, titled "Kobe. Shofukuji Zen monastery. Zen School" captured by the talented photographer Quilici, Folco in 1974, we are transported to the serene world of Japanese Zen Buddhism. The image takes us to Kobe, Japan, where the renowned Shofukuji Zen monastery stands as a symbol of tranquility and spiritual enlightenment. The composition beautifully showcases the architectural grandeur of this sacred place while highlighting its harmonious integration with nature. As our eyes wander through the frame, we are immediately drawn to the intricate details of the monastery's traditional design. The elegant sloping roofs adorned with delicate ornaments create a striking silhouette against the sky. Each element seems purposefully placed to evoke a sense of balance and harmony. The surrounding landscape further enhances the meditative atmosphere portrayed in this photograph. Lush greenery envelops the temple grounds, providing a soothing backdrop for contemplation and self-reflection. It is as if time itself slows down within these hallowed walls. Quilici's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to his work. Soft rays gently illuminate parts of the building while casting mysterious shadows on others—a visual representation perhaps mirroring life's duality between clarity and obscurity. This remarkable print serves as an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in an ancient practice that seeks inner peace amidst chaos—an art mastered by those who dedicate their lives to Zen Buddhism at Shofukuji Monastery. Through Quilici's lens, we catch a glimpse into a timeless realm where spirituality meets architecture; where simplicity reigns supreme; where one can find solace from worldly distractions—a moment frozen in time that continues to inspire seekers on their own path towards enlightenment.
