EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Underwood & Underwood in 1904, transports us to the serene grounds of Kasuga Temple in Nara, Japan. The image showcases a young girl dressed in a traditional kimono and hat, delicately feeding sacred deer on her way to prayers. As she gracefully interacts with these majestic creatures, we witness the harmonious connection between humans and nature. Established in 768, the Shinto Kasuga Shrine is renowned for its exquisite bronze and stone lanterns that adorn its surroundings. This stereoscopic card allows us to appreciate even the smallest details of this enchanting scene. Intriguingly, amidst this tranquil setting, we catch a glimpse of a rickshaw driver transporting passengers along their spiritual journey. It serves as a reminder of the diverse occupations within Japanese society during that era. The photograph not only captures the beauty of this ancient religious site but also offers insight into daily life at that time. Through this lens into history, we are reminded of the deep-rooted traditions and spirituality that continue to shape Japan's cultural identity today. Underwood & Underwood skillfully immortalized this moment through their lens, allowing us to travel back in time and immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of Japanese heritage.
