Character Devil Disappointed Frequent Hate Personification Plays Turns Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the essence of Kiyohime, a legendary figure in Japanese mythology. Known as the personification of Disappointed Love, Kiyohime's story is a tragic one that has been immortalized in traditional No plays. In these plays, her love transforms into hate, leading her to become a she-devil consumed by rage and betrayal.
The image beautifully portrays Kiyohime's transformation from a lovelorn woman to a vengeful demon, with her eyes ablaze with fury and her features contorted in anger. The intricate details of her costume and the historical setting further enhance the sense of drama and intensity surrounding this character.
Kiyohime's tale serves as a cautionary reminder of the destructive power of unrequited love and how it can twist even the purest emotions into something dark and malevolent. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness the tragic downfall of a once gentle soul turned devilish by heartbreak.
As we gaze upon this haunting depiction of Kiyohime, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of Japanese folklore and how it continues to captivate audiences with its timeless themes of love, betrayal, and redemption. Mary Evans Picture Library has truly captured the essence of this iconic mythological figure in all her complexity through this evocative photo print.
