EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating illustration captures a moment of enchantment and fear in the ancient Japanese myth of Hoori and the Sea God's daughter. Created by Evelyn Paul in 1918 for "The Myths and Legends of Japan" by F Hadland Davis, this color lithograph brings to life a pivotal scene from Japanese mythology. Intricately detailed, the print depicts Hoori, the grandfather of Japan's first Mikado, standing before Toyotama-hime, the ethereal daughter of the Sea God. The underwater palace serves as their backdrop, its otherworldly beauty contrasting with Hoori's trepidation. With wide eyes and an outstretched hand, he appears both awestruck and fearful in front of Toyotama-hime's radiant presence. According to legend, Hoori had ventured into the sea to search for his lost fishing hook when he encountered Toyotama-hime. Their meeting blossomed into love as they married and lived together happily for several years. However, one day curiosity got the better of Hoori; he broke his promise not to watch her while she transformed into her true form—a giant wani (sea creature). Startled by his betrayal, Toyotama-hime fled back to her father's realm beneath the waves. Paul masterfully captures this climactic moment where fear grips Hoori as he realizes that his actions have endangered their relationship. Through vivid colors and intricate details that bring every element alive—the swirling water currents
