EDITORS COMMENTS
The Legend of Mio-No-Matsubara, (1740-1760), 1910. Creator: Tsu Jinpo This print takes us back to the 18th century in Japan, capturing a moment from the legendary tale of Mio-No-Matsubara. The image showcases a beautifully crafted tsuba, a sword guard made by the skilled hands of Tsu Jinpo during the early 20th century. In this close-up shot, we see intricate details of the shakudo tsuba adorned with lacquer and metalpoint work. The craftsmanship is truly remarkable as it depicts scenes from Japanese literature and folklore. A fisherman gazes up at the sky while holding his fishing gear, surrounded by birds soaring above him. The legend tells us about Hagoromo, a celestial maiden who descends to Earth but loses her feathered robe known as hagoromo. Without it, she cannot return to heaven until a kind-hearted fisherman retrieves it for her. This dramatic narrative is brought to life through this stunning piece of art. Herbert G. Ponting's book "In Lotus-Land Japan" serves as our gateway into this enchanting world where spirituality and nature intertwine seamlessly. Through this photograph taken in Shimizu, Shizuoka prefecture, we are transported to an era filled with mythical creatures and heroic deeds. Let this mesmerizing print remind us of the rich cultural heritage that exists within Asia and its profound impact on artistry across continents.
