EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Japan in the year 1912, offering a glimpse into its rich history. The image showcases the awe-inspiring Daibutsu, also known as the Great Buddha, located in Kamakura. Standing tall since 1252, this magnificent statue reaches an impressive height of 49 feet and 7 inches. The photographer skillfully captures the essence of this iconic landmark, emphasizing its grandeur against a serene backdrop. The viewer is transported to a time when travel was less convenient but equally rewarding. It is mentioned that reaching Kamakura from Yokohama by train would take approximately 50 minutes - a detail that adds depth to our understanding of both the era and accessibility at that time. The photograph belongs to a private collection and was likely part of an illustrated souvenir book titled "Selected Pictures of Mikados Empire". This publication aimed to provide visitors with lasting memories of their journey through Japan's cultural wonders. As we admire this hand-colored image, we are reminded not only of Japan's artistic heritage but also its ability to preserve historical treasures like the Great Buddha for centuries. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure and significance of Japanese culture throughout history.
