EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Izanagi and Izanami giving birth to Japan" takes us back in time to the late 19th century. The image, originally created by renowned Japanese artist Kawanabe Kyosai, beautifully captures a significant moment in Japanese mythology. In this scene, we witness the divine couple Izanagi and Izanami as they bring forth the birth of Japan itself. Their powerful presence is felt through their elegant robes and serene expressions, symbolizing their role as deities in Shinto religion. The intricate details of their traditional kimonos add a touch of cultural richness to the composition. The landscape surrounding them depicts a tranquil night scene, emphasizing the mystical nature of this creation myth. As if suspended mid-air, these celestial beings radiate an otherworldly aura that transports us into a realm where gods shape nations. Dating back to around 1870 but captured on film much later in 1925 for The Connoisseur magazine's readership, this print serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic masterpiece. Its vibrant colors transport us back to early 20th-century Japan while preserving the essence of its ancient folklore. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece from Heritage Images' collection curated by The Print Collector29, we are reminded not only of Japan's rich cultural heritage but also of humanity's enduring fascination with myths and legends that continue to shape our understanding of ourselves and our world today.
