EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Old Feudal Castle from the Moat, 1910" takes us back in time to the enchanting world of Hikone Castle in Japan. Captured by Herbert Ponting, a renowned photographer and explorer, this image showcases the timeless beauty of one of Japan's oldest original-construction castles. The photograph transports us to the early 20th century, where we find ourselves standing at the edge of a serene moat surrounding the castle. The reflection on the calm water surface perfectly mirrors the grandeur and architectural mastery of this feudal fortress. The intricate wooden eaves and sloping roofs evoke a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. As we gaze upon this historic monument nestled amidst lush woodlands, we can't help but appreciate its significance as a symbol of Japanese history and culture. Hikone Castle stands tall as a testament to Japan's rich heritage during the Edo period when feudalism reigned supreme. Ponting's masterful composition captures not only the physical structure but also conveys an intangible essence that speaks volumes about Japan's oriental charm. This print is part of his acclaimed book "In Lotus-Land Japan" which immerses readers in breathtaking landscapes and cultural treasures across Asia. Whether you are an architecture enthusiast or simply captivated by historical landmarks, this aged yet timeless photograph will transport you to another era, allowing you to marvel at Hikone Castle's majestic presence within its picturesque surroundings
