EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting wooden bridge at Iwakuni, Japan in 1904. Standing gracefully over the Nishiki River, this architectural masterpiece boasts five magnificent wooden arches that have withstood the test of time. Originally constructed in 1673, this iconic bridge became a symbol of resilience as it had to be rebuilt after being ravaged by a typhoon-induced flood in 1950. The image captures the bridge's intricate design and showcases its harmonious blend with nature. The photographer skillfully portrays the serene landscape surrounding the bridge, highlighting its picturesque charm. The stone pier stands tall amidst the flowing waters, creating a tranquil scene that transports viewers to another era. This photograph not only serves as a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into Japanese history and civil engineering practices of the seventeenth century. It is an exquisite representation of Japan's rich cultural heritage and architectural prowess. Preserved within these monochrome tones lies a story waiting to be discovered - one that speaks volumes about human ingenuity and our ability to rebuild even after facing adversity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art captured by Captain F Brinkley, we are reminded of how bridges connect not just physical spaces but also cultures and generations throughout time.
