EDITORS COMMENTS
Travel Views of Japan and Korea," a captivating photographic series by Arnold Genthe, transports us back in time to the early 1900s. This collection of images, taken in 1908, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan and Korea. In one striking photograph, we see a group of Japanese men dressed in traditional ceremonial attire, standing before a Shinto shrine. The men, dressed in flowing robes and headdresses, are engaged in a performance, their faces expressive and focused. One man plays a drum, its deep, resonant beat echoing through the natural setting, while another plays a flute, its melodic notes adding to the atmospheric scene. Another image captures a Korean temple, its ornate facade and intricate details standing out against the lush greenery of the surrounding landscape. Here, we see a lone monk, dressed in simple robes, deep in meditation. The serene setting, with its tranquil pond and gentle breeze, adds to the sense of peace and contemplation. Throughout the series, Genthe captures the unique beauty and diversity of both countries, from their traditional clothing and ceremonies to their natural landscapes and architectural wonders. These images offer a rare glimpse into a bygone era, inviting us to explore the history and heritage of Japan and Korea. The photographic prints are housed in the Library of Congress, a testament to their historical significance and artistic merit. Genthe's masterful use of black and white film captures the essence of these two countries, making for a stunning and evocative collection of travel views.
