EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment when Raiko, a legendary figure in Japanese mythology, bravely slays the fearsome goblin of Oyeyama. Illustrated by F. Hadland Davis in 1918, this colour lithograph beautifully portrays the epic battle between good and evil. In this scene, Raiko stands tall with his sword raised high, ready to confront his enemy head-on. The goblin king looms menacingly before him, breathing fire as they engage in a fierce combat. The clash between these two powerful forces is depicted with great detail and skillful use of color. The illustration transports us into the heart of this mythological fight, where bravery and determination are pitted against malevolence and chaos. It symbolizes the eternal struggle between light and darkness that resonates across cultures and time periods. As we gaze upon this artwork from Evelyn Paul's private collection, we can almost feel the tension in the air as these formidable adversaries confront each other. This image serves as a reminder of our own inner battles against adversity and reminds us to summon our courage when facing challenges. With its rich symbolism rooted in Japanese folklore, this print invites us to delve into ancient myths while appreciating the artistic mastery behind it. It is a testament to both human imagination and creativity that continues to inspire generations even after more than a century since its creation.
