EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 17th century Japanese print, we find a depiction of Yama, the Great Judge of Hell, also known as the King of Hell, King Yan, or Yanluo, in East Asian and Buddhist mythology. Yama is represented as a fearsome and imposing figure, clad in regal attire and adorned with various symbols of authority. He sits atop a throne, flanked by two fierce attendants, each holding a noose and a hooked staff. The Great Judge of Hell is believed to preside over the Narakas, or Hells, and the cycle of afterlife in Buddhist mythology. According to the myth, after death, the souls of the deceased are judged by Yama and his retinue, based on their deeds in life. The souls are then sent to the appropriate Naraka, or Purgatory, to undergo purification and atonement for their sins. Yama's role as the Great Judge is a crucial aspect of the Buddhist belief in the law of karma and the cycle of rebirth. The image of Yama, with his stern expression and unwavering gaze, serves as a reminder of the importance of leading a virtuous life and the consequences of one's actions. This print, dating from the early 17th century, offers a glimpse into the rich and intricate world of East Asian and Buddhist mythology. The intricate details, bold colors, and dynamic composition make it a captivating work of art, as well as a valuable historical and cultural artifact.
