EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite ivory carving from the late 19th century Meiji period. The intricate artwork, created by Komei Ishikawa, depicts a serene and ethereal scene of Kannon, the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, floating gracefully on a lotus leaf. Measuring at 24.1 cm in length, this delicate sculpture is accompanied by a wooden stand that adds to its elegance and presence. The craftsmanship is truly remarkable as every detail of Kannon's figure and the lotus-petal vessel has been meticulously carved with precision. The artist's signature "Komei" can be found on the underside of this masterpiece along with his seal "Ishi". This adds authenticity and value to this already exceptional piece. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of this religious iconography. It highlights not only the skillful artistry but also evokes a sense of spirituality and reverence associated with Buddhism. With its rich cultural significance, this ivory carving represents both Japan's artistic heritage and its deep connection to Buddhist traditions. Its inclusion in private collections further emphasizes its rarity and desirability among collectors worldwide. Bridgeman Images has done justice in capturing the beauty of this artwork through their expert photography skills. This print serves as a testament to the enduring appeal and timeless allure of religious sculptures like these that continue to captivate audiences even today.
