EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the enchanting Portico of the Temple of the Four Dragons in Nikko, Japan. Taken in 1895 by artist Armand Kohl, this architectural masterpiece is beautifully captured with intricate details and a monochrome aesthetic. The portico stands tall amidst a lush natural setting, surrounded by towering trees that add an air of tranquility to the scene. Its grandeur and meticulous craftsmanship are evident as every curve and arch is highlighted in this engraving. Nikko Toshogu, located in Tochigi prefecture within the Kanto region of Japan, holds great religious significance. It serves as a testament to Japanese culture and spirituality, drawing visitors from all over the world who seek solace within its sacred walls. This stunning print comes from "The Universal Geography with Illustrations and Maps" written by Elisee Reclus and published by Virtue & Co. Limited in London during 1895. The collaboration between Kohl's artistic eye and Reclus' descriptive prose brings forth an immersive experience for viewers. As we gaze upon this century-old image, we can't help but marvel at how it captures not only the physical beauty of this temple but also its spiritual essence. This print truly encapsulates both nature's majesty and mankind's devotion to religion – a timeless representation of Japan's rich cultural heritage.
