EDITORS COMMENTS
This early 19th century print showcases the intricately hand-carved image of a Tengu, a mythical creature from Japanese folklore. The Tengu is depicted as a winged goblin or spirit, often portrayed as a humanoid figure with the face of a bird, usually a raven or a monkey. This particular Tengu wears an elaborate outfit, consisting of a colorful robe, a wide-brimmed hat, and a sash adorned with intricate patterns. The carving is made of wood, with inlays adding depth and dimension to the detailed decorative elements. The Tengu stands tall and proud, with one hand raised in a gesture of blessing or protection, while the other hand is tucked into his robe. His wings are spread wide, suggesting a readiness to take flight. The close-up perspective of this studio shot allows for a detailed examination of the exquisite craftsmanship, revealing the intricate textures and patterns of the carving. The Tengu is a significant figure in Japanese mythology, revered as a guardian of the mountains and forests, and believed to possess supernatural powers. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan, showcasing the country's exceptional craftsmanship and artistic traditions. The Tengu can be found in various museums and collections around the world, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
