EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Maiden of Unai" an enchanting illustration from the renowned book "The Myths and Legends of Japan" by F. Hadland Davis, published in 1918. Created using a vibrant colour lithograph technique, this artwork is a true masterpiece that captures the essence of Japanese mythology. In this scene, we witness the poignant tale of Mulbara and Chinu, two warriors who are deeply infatuated with the beautiful Maiden of Unai. However, their relentless fighting causes great distress to her delicate soul. The image beautifully depicts three maidens amidst a backdrop adorned with cherry blossoms and a majestic pagoda. Evelyn Paul (1870-1945), the talented artist behind this illustration, skillfully brings forth both strength and vulnerability in these characters through intricate details and vivid colours. Each brushstroke tells a story as ancient as time itself. "The Maiden of Unai" transports us into the realm of Japanese folklore where legends come alive. It serves as a reminder that love can be both powerful and destructive if not handled with care. This mesmerizing artwork invites viewers to immerse themselves in its ethereal beauty while contemplating themes such as passion, sacrifice, and destiny. As part of the Stapleton Collection held privately, this rare gem offers us an opportunity to delve into the rich tapestry of Japanese culture through artistry that has stood the test of time.
