EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of tradition and ancient civilization at the Toshogu Shrine in Nikko, Honshu, Japan. The image showcases a male guard standing proudly at the Omote gate, his face painted with an expression of anger and determination. With a ribbon tied around his head and wearing a traditional mask, he epitomizes the cultural significance of this sacred place. The three-quarter length portrait highlights the heritage and spirituality that emanate from this tourist attraction. The guard raises his arm in a defensive gesture, symbolizing his role as protector of this revered shrine. His fierce gaze is both intimidating and awe-inspiring to those who visit. The high angle view adds depth to the photograph, emphasizing the architectural beauty of Toshogu Shrine's entrance. The vibrant colors used in its construction are brought to life through Chris Rennie/Robert Harding's lens. As we delve into Japanese history and religion through this image, we are reminded of the importance placed on spiritualism and reverence for ancestors in Japanese culture. This photograph serves as a window into East Asian traditions that have stood strong throughout centuries. Through photography like this one, we can appreciate not only the visual splendor but also gain insight into different cultures around our world. It invites us to explore travel destinations that hold ancient civilizations close to their hearts while reminding us of our shared humanity across continents.
