EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases a hand-carved ivory figurine of Ashinaga and Tenaga, two intriguing figures from Japanese folklore, created by the skilled artisan Hideaki during the late 19th century. The image transports us back in time to the 1870s, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan. Ashinaga, depicted on the left, is a demon or yokai, known for his long, spindly arms, which are entangled around Tenaga on the right. Tenaga, a human figure, is often described as a mischievous prankster who enjoys playing tricks on Ashinaga. In this sculpture, Tenaga is shown standing defiantly, seemingly unfazed by Ashinaga's grasp. The intricate details of their clothing and accessories are a testament to the artisan's mastery of the craft. Ashinaga wears a traditional Japanese robe, adorned with intricate carvings and patterns, while Tenaga dons a simple, yet elegant, clothing dress. Both figures exhibit the vibrant colors and rich textures that are characteristic of Asian art. The full-length, studio shot of this exquisite statuette, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a close-up view of the intricate carvings and the entangled bodies of Ashinaga and Tenaga. The photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and the beauty of traditional arts and crafts.
