EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the awe-inspiring sight of Daibutz, the colossal bronze statue of Buddha, nestled amidst the lush greenery of Kamakura, Japan. The statue, a revered symbol of Buddhism and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Asia, stands tall against the backdrop of the clear blue sky. The photograph was taken during the historic voyage of H.M.S. Challenger, an expedition funded by the British Government for scientific purposes between 1872 and 1876. The Challenger, believed to be the first official expedition to carry an onboard photographer, embarked on a groundbreaking journey to explore the world's oceans and unravel the mysteries of the deep. As the Challenger sailed through the waters of Asia, its crew documented their discoveries with great enthusiasm and precision. This photograph of Daibutz, taken during their stop in Kamakura, Kanagawa, offers a glimpse into the anthropological and religious explorations of the expedition. The statue, made of alloy and standing at a colossal height, is a significant representation of the Buddhist faith and a source of worship for the local community. The image of Daibutz, with its intricate details and lifelike appearance, transports us back in time to the era of grand adventures and scientific exploration. The bronze statue, bathed in sunlight and surrounded by nature, stands as a symbol of peace, tranquility, and the enduring power of human curiosity and discovery.
