EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-155013-0000 Monumental statue of Buddha in Kobe" takes us back to the late 19th century. The image showcases a magnificent sculpture of Buddha, standing tall and serene amidst the bustling streets of Kobe. The statue's grandeur is emphasized by its towering presence, capturing the attention of passersby in this street scene from 1870-1880. Dressed in traditional clothing, it exudes a sense of masculinity and cultural heritage that resonates with the Japanese population. The Yokohama School (attr. ) has masterfully captured not only the intricate details of this remarkable work but also the vibrant cityscape surrounding it. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into both artistry and daily life during that period. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era where fashion was distinctively different for men and children alike. The clothing worn by these individuals reflects their adherence to tradition while embracing contemporary styles prevalent at that time. Beyond being an object d'art or merely a tourist attraction, this monumental statue symbolizes more than meets the eye. It serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural history and religious practices deeply rooted within its society. Through anthropology, ethnography, folklore lenses, one can appreciate how such sculptures played significant roles in shaping national identity among Asiatic populations like those found in Japan. Alinari has once again provided us with an extraordinary visual experience through their exceptional photographic collection. This particular print allows us to immerse ourselves in historical narratives while appreciating artistic craftsmanship at its finest - all without mentioning any commercial use associated with it.
