EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports you to the serene and mystical world of Itsuku Shima Jinja, located in Miyajima, Honshu, Japan. In the foreground stands a collection of traditional stone candle stands, their weathered surfaces bearing witness to centuries of devotion and reverence. These elegant structures exude an air of tranquility as they silently guard the sacred space. Beyond them lies a mesmerizing sight - floating torii gates that seem to defy gravity and invite visitors into another realm. The torii gates are symbolic in both Shinto and Buddhist traditions, representing the transition from mundane to sacred spaces. Their ethereal presence adds an otherworldly charm to this already enchanting scene. The architecture surrounding these ancient relics is a harmonious blend of contemporary design and traditional elements. This juxtaposition creates a visual feast for the eyes, showcasing Japan's ability to seamlessly merge its rich cultural heritage with modern aesthetics. As you gaze upon this photograph, you can almost feel the spiritual energy emanating from this place of worship. It serves as a reminder that amidst our bustling world, there are sanctuaries where one can find solace and connect with something greater than ourselves. Eitan Simanor/Robert Harding has masterfully captured not just an image but also the essence of Itsuku Shima Jinja through his lens. This stunning piece of art invites us on a virtual journey to experience the beauty and serenity found within this remarkable travel destination in Asia.
