EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Netsuke carving from the late 18th century, titled "Netsuke depicting tengu no tamago". Crafted by the talented artist Jobun, this wooden masterpiece measures 3.35 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The intricately carved piece features an enigmatic scene of an emerging face, belonging to a humanoid winged creature known as Tengu. With its anti-hero reputation in Japanese folklore, the Tengu embodies both mystery and power. However, what makes this Netsuke truly unique is the presence of an egg being hatched by the creature. Symbolizing birth and new beginnings, this delicate carving captures a moment of transformation and creation. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke of Jobun's hand; each curve and line brings life to this mythical being. As we admire this oriental accessory, we are drawn into a world where imagination meets craftsmanship. The juxtaposition between beauty and darkness creates an aura that lingers with us long after our gaze leaves the print. Through A© Paul Freeman's lens, we are granted access to appreciate not only the artistry but also the cultural significance behind such masterpieces. This photograph serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these timeless creations continue to captivate audiences worldwide with their rich symbolism and exquisite craftsmanship.
