EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable painting on the core pillar of the Pagoda at the Daigoji Monastery, dating back to the 13th century. The five-storey pagoda, constructed in 951, stands as an enduring testament to Kyoto's rich history and is considered the oldest building in this ancient city. Despite its age, it miraculously survived the destructive Onin War during the 15th century. The image exudes a sense of tranquility and spirituality that is synonymous with Buddhism. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this religious artwork transport us to a bygone era where meditation and serenity were highly valued. The golden hues adorning each brushstroke add an ethereal quality to this masterpiece. As we gaze upon this portrait from Studio Volume 51 published in London around 1910-11, we are reminded of Japan's deep-rooted cultural heritage and its profound connection with nature. With legs crossed in traditional fashion, one can almost imagine monks engaging in silent contemplation within these sacred walls. This photograph serves as a visual time capsule capturing not only a moment frozen in thirteenth-century Japan but also preserving centuries-old traditions for future generations to appreciate. It reminds us of our shared humanity across time and space while honoring the spiritual legacy that continues to shape our world today.
