EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Jon Burbank, we are transported to the serene surroundings of Jingumae at Meijijingu shrine in Tokyo. The image showcases a young couple, both in their early twenties, immersed in the rich cultural traditions of Japan. The girl stands gracefully dressed in a traditional kimono and wrap, exuding elegance and grace. Beside her stands her partner, clad in a down jacket paired with jeans and sneakers - a fusion of modernity and tradition. The vibrant red hues dominate the scene, symbolizing passion and energy while adding depth to the composition. As they stand before an intricately designed fence at the shrine, it becomes evident that they have come seeking guidance for the year ahead. With anticipation etched on their faces, they tie omikuji - New Year's predictions - onto the fence as an act of faith. This photograph beautifully captures not only the architectural marvels but also highlights how religion plays an integral role within Japanese society. Buddhism is deeply rooted here, shaping customs and beliefs that have been passed down through generations. Through his lens, Burbank manages to freeze this moment in time where youth meets tradition against a backdrop of spirituality. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling cities like Tokyo, ancient rituals continue to thrive – connecting people to their heritage while embracing progress for future generations to come.
