EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Japanese Netsuke of a goat, dating back to the 18th century. As one of the twelve animals in the Japanese Zodiac, this intricately carved artefact holds great significance in astrology and cultural symbolism. The image beautifully captures the vibrant colors and exquisite details of this wooden masterpiece. Displayed within the renowned Victoria & Albert Museum's collection, this netsuke exemplifies Japan's rich artistic heritage. Its presence evokes a sense of awe and admiration for both its craftsmanship and historical value. The studio shot allows us to appreciate every curve, line, and texture meticulously rendered by skilled hands centuries ago. The goat itself exudes an air of tranquility and grace, embodying traits associated with those born under its zodiac sign - gentleness, creativity, and compassion. This photograph transports us to another time as we marvel at how such a small object can hold so much cultural significance. As we gaze upon this artifact from afar or up close through CM Dixon's lens at the Museum of Ornamental Art within Victoria Albert Museum’s vast collection – it reminds us that art transcends time and space; it connects us to our past while inspiring future generations. Let this enchanting image serve as a reminder of Japan's profound reverence for nature, their mastery in wood carving techniques, and their enduring connection with astrology.
