Elderly Couple Worshipping the Rising Sun
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white woodblock print from the Edo period of Japan, created by the renowned artist Kawanabe Kyosai in approximately 1850. This monochrome masterpiece showcases an elderly couple deeply engrossed in prayer as they face the rising sun, their hands in a distinctive hand gesture, symbolizing reverence and devotion. The scene takes place in a tranquil garden setting, where the couple's posture and gestures convey a deep sense of connection to the natural world and the passage of time. The sun, a vital symbol of the solar system and the cycle of life, rises majestically over pine trees, their silhouettes stark against the brightening sky. During the Tokugawa era, the belief in astronomy and the natural world was deeply intertwined with religious practices, making this work a testament to the spiritual and scientific heritage of Japan. The print, titled "Le Matin" in French, is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the rich artistic legacy of the Ukiyo-e tradition. As the sun's rays begin to illuminate the garden, the elderly couple continues their prayer, their faith unwavering, reflecting the enduring human connection to the natural world and the cosmos. This powerful image transcends time and culture, inviting us to ponder the universal themes of belief, devotion, and the passage of time.
