EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Sennin named Tekki, who unfortunately lived his life as a beggar. Created by Onitake Toshiyoshi in 1910, this image is part of the book "In Lotus-Land Japan" by Herbert G. Ponting. The photograph showcases a close-up view of Tekki, an immortal spirit from Japanese literature. The monochrome composition emphasizes the barefooted man's plight, highlighting his poverty and destitution. Despite his unfortunate circumstances, there is an undeniable sense of resilience emanating from Tekki's gaze. His weathered face tells stories untold while hinting at the wisdom acquired through hardship. Shibuichi tsuba, an alloy commonly used in traditional Japanese arts during the 18th to 19th centuries, frames this poignant portrait. The choice of material adds depth and authenticity to the image while paying homage to Japan's rich cultural heritage. Through this photograph, Toshiyoshi masterfully captures not only Tekki's physical appearance but also his indomitable spirit that defies time itself. This evocative portrayal invites viewers to reflect on themes such as immortality and human perseverance amidst adversity. As we contemplate this striking image captured over a century ago, we are transported back in time to Lotus Land Japan—a place where legends come alive and tales unfold with every breath taken in its mystical air.
