EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Dogu statuette from Japan, dating back to the Neolithic Jomon period. Standing at a height of 20 cm, this terracotta masterpiece is attributed to the Japanese School and is currently housed in the Musee Guimet in Paris, France. The statuette, known as "Dogu with snow glasses" holds great significance in shamanic rites within Japanese art. Created during the Jomon civilization (around 8000 to 300 BC), it offers us a glimpse into their rich cultural heritage. Carved with meticulous detail, this anthropomorphic figurine stands against a white background, allowing its intricate features to shine through. The studio shot captures its full length and presents it as an ancient artifact that has stood the test of time. With its unique style and symbolism rooted in religion and shamanism, this sculpture represents more than just an artistic creation; it serves as a window into Japan's ancient past. Its presence evokes curiosity about the rituals and beliefs of those who once held it dear. As we admire this single object from history's depths, let us appreciate its craftsmanship while pondering on the mysteries surrounding its purpose and significance within ancient civilization.
