EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Buddhist triad from the Edo period, specifically mid 17th to early 18th century. The artwork depicts three significant figures in Buddhism: Sakyamuni, Manjusri, and Samantabhadra. Adorned with vibrant colors and gold on silk, this hanging scroll is a true masterpiece of Japanese art. The central figure is Sakyamuni Buddha, seated in the lotus position with an aura of serenity surrounding him. To his right stands Manjusri, the bodhisattva of wisdom, holding a lotus flower symbolizing enlightenment. On his left is Samantabhadra, representing compassion and virtue while gesturing in benediction. Sumiyoshi Gukei skillfully captures the essence of these revered figures through meticulous brushwork and attention to detail. The intricate fabric patterns and delicate flowers add depth to the composition while showcasing Gukei's artistic prowess. Displayed at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art, this piece serves as both an educational tool and a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage. It invites viewers into a world where spirituality intertwines with nature seamlessly. As we admire this remarkable painting by Sumiyoshi Gukei, we are reminded of the profound influence Buddhism has had on Japanese society throughout history. Its teachings continue to inspire individuals seeking enlightenment and inner peace even today.
