EDITORS COMMENTS
In this Japanese Oban color print from 1887, we are transported to a serene and mystical world. The image depicts a holy man deep in meditation beneath the enchanting glow of a full moon. This extraordinary artwork by Yoshitoshi beautifully captures the essence of tranquility and spiritual devotion. The holy man, with his long flowing beard and peaceful countenance, exudes an aura of wisdom and serenity. His eyes closed gently as he sits cross-legged on the ground, completely immersed in his meditative state. The soft moonlight bathes him in its ethereal glow, creating an atmosphere of calmness and introspection. This mesmerizing portrait transports us to late Meiji-era Japan, where spirituality was highly revered. The woodblock technique used by Yoshitoshi adds depth and texture to the print, enhancing its visual impact. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of art, we can almost feel ourselves being drawn into the quietude that surrounds the holy man. It serves as a reminder for us to find moments of stillness amidst our busy lives – to take time for self-reflection and inner peace. Yoshitoshi's portrayal not only celebrates Japanese culture but also pays homage to Buddhism's profound influence on society during that era. Through this print, we are invited to contemplate our own connection with nature, spirituality, and ultimately ourselves.
