EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting illustration of "Sengen, the Goddess of Mount Fuji" from the renowned book The Myths and Legends of Japan by F Hadland Davis, published in 1918. Created as a color lithograph by Evelyn Paul (1870-1945), this artwork is now part of a private collection. The image depicts Sengen, also known as the Goddess of Fuji, in all her divine glory. With an ethereal aura surrounding her, she stands amidst swirling clouds and vibrant flowers. In this particular scene, Sengen gracefully tosses down camellias to Yosoji as a symbol of her affectionate love. This illustration beautifully captures elements from Japanese mythology and Shinto beliefs. It portrays Princess Konohanasakuya, who represents delicate cherry blossoms blooming on Mount Fuji's slopes each spring—a powerful symbol of renewal and beauty. The artist's attention to detail shines through in every brushstroke—bringing life to this mythical deity while evoking a sense of awe and wonderment. The colors are richly saturated, enhancing the mystical atmosphere that surrounds Sengen. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported into a world where gods and goddesses interact with mortals—an invitation to explore ancient tales woven within Japanese culture. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a window into the captivating realm of mythological Japan.
