EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Visu on Mount Fuji-Yama" takes us on a journey through the enchanting world of Japanese mythology. Illustrated by F. Hadland Davis in 1918, this colour lithograph beautifully captures a scene from "The Myths and Legends of Japan". In this mesmerizing image, we see Visu, a woodcutter who becomes entranced by the beauty of women playing go, an ancient board game. Unbeknownst to him, he watches them for an astonishing 300 years without realizing it. The illustration skillfully portrays Visu's astonishment as he finally comprehends the passage of time. Evelyn Paul's artistic talent shines through in her use of vibrant colors and intricate details that bring this mythological tale to life. The majestic presence of Mount Fuji-Yama serves as a breathtaking backdrop, symbolizing both the grandeur and spiritual significance associated with this iconic mountain. This artwork not only showcases elements from Japanese folklore but also highlights themes such as temptation, illusion, and the concept of timelessness. It invites viewers to delve into the rich tapestry of Japanese culture while contemplating universal human experiences. As part of The Stapleton Collection held privately, this print is a testament to the enduring allure and power that myths hold over our collective imagination. Its inclusion in Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its beauty and delve deeper into the fascinating realm depicted within its frame.
