EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Illustrated Legends of the Origins of the Kumano Shrines" a remarkable artwork dating back to the late 16th to early 17th century during Japan's Momoyama period. Created on ink and color on paper, this set of three handscrolls beautifully depicts legendary tales associated with the revered Kumano Shrines. The image captures a letterbox format that provides a panoramic view of an enchanting landscape. Nestled amidst majestic mountains and terraces, four people can be seen in this scene - two men and two women. The vibrant colors, predominantly red, add depth and richness to the composition while highlighting its religious significance. The Kumano Shrines hold great cultural and historical importance in Japan. This heritage art piece not only portrays their origins but also serves as a testament to Japanese spirituality and devotion. As we delve into these illustrated legends, we are transported back in time to explore ancient folklore intertwined with Shinto beliefs. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this original work by an unknown artist is truly awe-inspiring. It offers us a glimpse into centuries-old traditions and customs that continue to shape Japanese culture today. Through this photo print, we can appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it as well as its profound connection to Japan's rich heritage.
