EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the serene world of Sumiyoshi, Osaka in 1904. The image showcases a mesmerizing display of stone lanterns that line the path leading to one of Japan's oldest Shinto shrines. Underwood & Underwood, renowned for their stereoscopic cards, beautifully captured this architectural marvel. The scene exudes an air of tranquility as the lanterns cast a soft glow on the surroundings. A lone man stands amidst this ethereal setting, his presence adding a sense of scale and contemplation. Towering trees and lush foliage frame the composition, emphasizing the harmonious blend between nature and spirituality. Sumiyoshi Shrine itself holds deep historical significance, believed to have been constructed over two millennia ago in 211 AD. Its timeless beauty is accentuated by these stone steps that guide visitors towards its sacred grounds. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to Japanese culture and religious devotion. It invites us to reflect upon our connection with both ancient traditions and natural landscapes. Underwood & Underwood's mastery shines through in this monochrome masterpiece, transporting viewers back to early 20th-century Japan while preserving its cultural heritage for generations to come.
