EDITORS COMMENTS
Moon over the Waters at Daimotsu Bay" is a captivating woodblock print from the late 19th century, depicting the tranquil scene of the full moon rising over the calm waters of Daimotsu Bay in Japan. The serene image is juxtaposed with the traditional Japanese figure of Musashibo Benkei, a legendary warrior monk, who is shown deep in prayer at the water's edge. Benkei, a renowned figure in Japanese folklore, is known for his devotion and strength. According to legend, he would test his martial skills by challenging travelers crossing the Tama River, offering to carry them on his back if they could answer a riddle. Benkei's purpose in this woodblock print is to appease the gods and calm the rough seas, ensuring safe passage for his ship and its passengers as they cross Daimotsu Bay. The intricately detailed print, created in 1886, showcases the masterful artistry of Japanese woodblock printing. The artist has expertly captured the ethereal quality of the moon, its gentle light illuminating the peaceful scene below. The reflection of the moon on the calm waters adds an extra layer of depth and beauty to the image. The woodblock print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and its enduring connection to the natural world. The combination of the mystical figure of Musashibo Benkei, the enchanting moon, and the tranquil waters of Daimotsu Bay creates a timeless and captivating image that continues to inspire awe and wonder. This woodblock print is a treasure for any collector of Japanese art or for those who appreciate the beauty and intricacy of traditional woodblock prints. It serves as a reminder of the deep connection between the Japanese people and their natural environment, and the power of faith and devotion to overcome even the most treacherous of waters.
