EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century illustration, titled "Illustration of the Legend of Tenjin (image 2 of 4)" or alternatively known as "Tenmangu Goden Emaki," was created by the renowned Japanese artist Sadahide Utagawa. The print showcases a scene from a popular Shinto legend about the deity Tenjin, also known as Sugawara no Michizane. Tenjin is depicted here in the center, seated on a mat, surrounded by two monks, Gyokuran Hashimoto and Kenjiro Utagawa. Tenjin is shown wearing traditional Shinto attire, including a long robe and a headdress adorned with a five-pointed star, symbolizing his divine status. The monks, dressed in their distinctive robes and headgear, are shown in a respectful position, paying homage to the deity. The intricate details of the clothing and architecture in this illustration are a testament to the artistic skill and craftsmanship of Sadahide Utagawa. The use of vibrant colors and isometric perspective adds depth and dimension to the image. This print is a beautiful example of the Ukiyo-e style, which was popular in Japan during the Edo period and is characterized by its distinctive woodblock printing technique. This set of six color woodblock prints was created by Sadahide Utagawa, who was known for his innovative approach to traditional Japanese art. The prints are now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where they are cherished for their historical and artistic significance. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the enduring influence of its religious traditions.
