EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Nara, the Heart of Old Japan, 1910" takes us back in time to a bygone era. Captured by Herbert Ponting, a renowned photographer and explorer, this image is part of his book "In Lotus-Land Japan". The photograph showcases the enchanting beauty of Nara, an ancient city that holds great historical significance. In this scene, we see a serene forest setting with a majestic temple ruin in the background. A graceful Japanese lady dressed in traditional kimono stands on the steps leading up to the temple. She carries an elegant parasol and delicately feeds a fawn-like deer from her hand. The vibrant blue sky contrasts beautifully with her pink attire, creating a visually stunning composition. Ponting's skillful use of color and composition transports us into this idyllic moment where nature and human interaction intertwine harmoniously. This image not only captures the essence of old Japan but also reflects its deep-rooted religious traditions as symbolized by the temple ruins. Nara itself is steeped in history and has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its cultural significance. Through this photo print, Ponting invites us to appreciate both the natural splendor and rich heritage that define Nara - truly making it "the heart" of old Japan.
