EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print depicts Canon, a revered Japanese deity, as depicted in an 18th-century engraving housed within the Pagoda of Canon. Canon, also known as Kannon, Kwannon, or Quannon, is a central figure in East Asian and Japanese Buddhism, symbolizing compassion and mercy. With multiple arms, Canon is shown reaching out to offer assistance and grant blessings to those seeking refuge. The deity is often depicted with a fish or a shell in each hand, symbolizing the saving of living beings from suffering and the granting of rebirth. The intricately detailed engraving showcases Canon in a serene and compassionate pose, surrounded by an ornate and decorative pagoda interior. The deity's gentle expression and open palms radiate a sense of comfort and protection, making it a powerful and moving representation of the divine power of compassion. Canon's worship has been a deeply rooted tradition in Japan for centuries, with numerous temples and shrines dedicated to the deity. This engraving serves as a beautiful reminder of the enduring significance of Canon in Japanese religious and cultural history.
