EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in Japanese history, as two devoted monkeys, Kik Roshi and Jizo Bosatsu, lend their assistance to a scholar in the arduous task of copying the Buddhist scriptures. The year is 1908, and the tranquil setting of a forested temple provides the perfect atmosphere for contemplation and learning. The elder monkey, Kik Roshi, gazes intently at the scholar, his expression filled with a deep sense of anxiety and anticipation. The younger monkey, Jizo Bosatsu, mirrors his elder's eagerness, peering over the scholar's shoulder as he meticulously copies the sacred texts. According to ancient Japanese folklore, these two monkeys were once human beings who lived during the time of Buddha. In their previous lives, they had been scholars who had dedicated themselves to the study of Buddhism. However, they had died before they could complete their work on the Buddhist scriptures. In their current incarnations, they were granted the opportunity to make amends for their past failures and to help ensure the preservation of Buddhist teachings. The scholar, unaware of the monkeys' divine origins, is focused on the task at hand. The senior monkey, Kik Roshi, later reincarnates as a man and completes the task, ensuring that the Buddhist scriptures are preserved for future generations. This image is a poignant reminder of the power of dedication, the importance of knowledge, and the cyclical nature of life and reincarnation in Buddhist philosophy. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Buddhism in Japanese culture and the deep reverence that the Japanese people have for their spiritual heritage.
