EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Hare and the Bridge of Crocodiles, 1925" transports us to the enchanting world of Japanese folklore. Illustrated by Amy Cruse for her book "The Book of Myths" this image beautifully captures a moment from a traditional Japanese legend. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness a courageous hare leaping across a treacherous bridge made entirely of crocodiles. The tension in the air is palpable as the nimble creature defies all odds to reach its destination safely. The monochrome palette adds an ethereal quality to the illustration, enhancing its mythical allure. Amy Cruse's intricate attention to detail brings this fairy tale landscape to life. Each stroke on paper reflects her deep understanding and respect for Japanese culture and mythology. This artwork serves as both an homage to Japan's rich literary heritage and an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in its magical stories. As we gaze upon this historical gem from the 1920s, we are reminded of how art can transcend time, allowing us glimpses into different eras and cultures. It is through works like these that legends continue to be passed down through generations, inspiring awe and wonder in those who encounter them. This print from Heritage Images invites us on a journey into ancient Japan—a land where animals possess extraordinary powers, bridges become living creatures, and imagination knows no bounds.
