EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a serene scene from Suizen-ji Garden in Kumamoto, Japan, dating back to 1904. The image showcases a group of women gracefully crossing the lake on stepping stones, with their elegant traditional dresses flowing gently in the breeze. Looking towards the northeast, one can spot the meticulously crafted model of Mount Fuji (Fujiyama) in the background. Suizen-ji Garden was originally established as a tea retreat by Lord Tadatoshi Hosokawa during the 17th century. Its timeless beauty has been preserved through centuries, making it an enchanting destination for visitors seeking tranquility amidst nature's embrace. The composition of this stereoscopic card allows viewers to immerse themselves in this picturesque setting. A woman holding a parasol leads the way across the stepping stones, while children follow closely behind her. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and nostalgia to this snapshot frozen in time. As we gaze upon this print by Underwood & Underwood, we are transported to another era and place - where formalities blend harmoniously with natural landscapes. It serves as a reminder of Japan's rich cultural heritage and its ability to create breathtaking gardens that stand as testaments to human ingenuity and artistic expression.
