EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Feudal castle of the proud Shoguns in Osaka, Japan, dating back to 1904. Standing as one of Japan's most renowned castles, Osaka Castle was originally constructed by the Toyotomi clan in the late 16th century. However, it fell under the control of Tokugawa Ieyasu and his Tokugawa Shogunate army in 1615, which ruled over Japan until 1868. The castle underwent significant renovations and fortifications during the early 17th century under Tokugawa Hidetada's guidance. The image showcases its impressive exterior with towering walls and ramparts surrounding a picturesque moat filled with tranquil waters. Intriguingly captured in monochrome black and white, this photograph not only highlights the architectural brilliance but also offers a glimpse into Japanese history during the Edo period. The presence of people engaged in a board game adds an element of human connection to this historical landmark. Underwood & Underwood skillfully composed this stereoscopic card that allows viewers to immerse themselves into this extraordinary scene from centuries ago. With every detail meticulously preserved, this print serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry today, we are reminded of the enduring impact that feudal castles like Osaka had on shaping Japan's rich history and culture.
