EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Japan, circa 1912, showcasing the magnificent Horyu-ji temple. As the oldest Buddhist temple in Japan, this architectural marvel was built approximately 1300 years ago in Yamato. The photograph, taken by an anonymous Japanese photographer from the 20th century and now part of a private collection, captures the essence of this historic site. The image is richly colored by hand and was originally featured as an illustration for "Selected Pictures of Mikados Empire" serving as a fine souvenir for those visiting Japan during that era. The intricate details and vibrant hues bring to life the beauty and grandeur of Horyu-ji. Steeped in history and cultural significance, Horyu-ji stands as a testament to Japan's ancient heritage. Its towering structures and ornate decorations are awe-inspiring reminders of the country's deep-rooted Buddhist traditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable view through time, we are transported to an era where early 20th-century photographers skillfully captured glimpses into Japan's past. This photograph serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a window into Japanese history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary piece from their Fine Art Finder collection—a treasure trove that allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind these photographs but also their historical value. Let us cherish these glimpses into our shared human story across continents and centuries.
