EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ancient stone stairway leading up to the hillside tomb of Shogun Ieyasu in Nikko, Japan. Taken in 1904 by renowned photographers Underwood & Underwood, this image showcases the historical significance and natural beauty of this sacred location. Shrouded in a lush forest, the stone steps wind their way through towering trees and vibrant plants, creating a serene atmosphere that echoes with centuries of history. Each step represents a connection to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the revered founder and first shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate. His legacy spans from his victory at the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 until Japan's Meiji Restoration in 1868. The stoic warrior spirit is palpable as one imagines climbing these stairs towards Ieyasu's mausoleum. The monochrome composition adds an air of timelessness to this powerful scene, emphasizing both its historical importance and enduring presence. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to a different era – seventeenth-century Japan – where honor, war, and tradition shaped society. This photograph serves as a visual reminder of our connection to past generations while highlighting nature's ability to preserve history within its embrace. Underwood & Underwood masterfully captured not only an architectural marvel but also an emblematic representation of Japanese culture and heritage. It reminds us that even though time may pass relentlessly forward, there will always be remnants
