EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting Yuki-Onna, also known as The Lady of the Snow, in all her ethereal beauty. Illustrated by F. Hadland Davis in 1918, this colour lithograph captures the essence of Japanese mythology and legends. In this particular scene, we witness a chilling encounter between Yuki-Onna and Minokichi, a woodcutter who has fallen into a deep slumber. As the snow woman awakens him with an icy gust of wind on his face, she simultaneously takes the life of his master. However, moved by Minokichi's youth and striking appearance, she decides to spare him. The artist skillfully portrays Yuki-Onna's otherworldly presence through delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors that evoke both awe and fear. Her flowing white robes blend seamlessly with the snowy landscape surrounding her, creating an atmosphere of tranquility tinged with danger. This illustration serves as a reminder of the power held within ancient folklore and mythical creatures that have captivated imaginations for centuries. It transports viewers to a realm where spirits roam freely amidst snowstorms and ice-covered landscapes. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from Evelyn Paul's private collection, we are transported to a world where myths come alive before our very eyes – reminding us of humanity's eternal fascination with tales passed down through generations.
