EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century Japanese print, titled "Installation of the Sun God" by Kawanabe Kyosai, captures the awe-inspiring moment of the sun god's ascent into the heavens. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this work of art transport us to a world where the natural phenomena are personified as divine beings. The image showcases the sun god, Amaterasu Omikami, being carried across the sky by eight celestial deities, represented as dragons or birds. The sun god, depicted as a radiant woman with a golden headdress, holds a jewel in her hand, symbolizing the source of light and life. The deities, with their powerful wings spread wide, gracefully lift her up, their eyes filled with reverence and devotion. The background of the print is adorned with clouds, mountains, and various other natural elements, highlighting the harmony between the gods and nature. The use of bold lines, dynamic compositions, and rich colors is characteristic of the Oriental style, which was popular during the Edo period in Japan. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a reflection of the deep spiritual beliefs of the Japanese people during that era. The Installation of the Sun God is a testament to the power and majesty of nature and the deities that governed it, reminding us of the interconnectedness of all things in the universe.
