EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The groves were Gods first temples - avenue of Cryptomeria, Nikko, Japan, 1904" takes us on a journey through time and nature. The image showcases an enchanting avenue lined with majestic Cryptomeria trees in the serene town of Nikko. As we delve into this early 20th-century scene captured by Underwood & Underwood for their Travel Library collection, we are transported to a world where transportation was simpler and slower. A man wearing traditional Japanese attire walks along the road, his conical hat adding to the charm of the moment. In the distance, a rickshaw awaits its next passenger. The composition highlights the grandeur of nature as these towering trees create a natural canopy over the lane. The dense foliage creates an ethereal atmosphere that evokes tranquility and reverence for Mother Earth's beauty. Nikko's groves have long been considered sacred in Japanese culture; they are believed to be divine temples created by gods themselves. This print captures not only their physical magnificence but also their spiritual significance. Through this monochrome landscape photograph, we can appreciate both the artistry behind stereoscopic photography and gain insight into life in early 20th-century Japan. It serves as a reminder of our connection with nature and how it has inspired human creativity throughout history.
