EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print features an intricately hand-carved ivory figurine of the famous Japanese ghost story character, Oiwa, alongside a posthumous name tablet from the late 19th century. The image presents a close-up view of the ghostly figure, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, with a brown, hand-carved and sumi-stained ivory body. Oiwa's expression is one of quiet introspection as she looks down at the tablet, which bears her posthumous name in elegant calligraphy. Oiwa is a character from Japanese folklore and literature, known for her tragic and vengeful ghostly apparition. The story of Oiwa, also known as "The Tale of the Loyal Wife Oiwa," is a popular ghost story that has been told and retold for centuries in Japan. The figurine and tablet are remnants of Japan's rich artistic heritage, showcasing the country's intricate handicrafts and deep connection to its literary traditions. The ivory figure, with its dark staining and intricate carving, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the unknown craftsperson who created it. This studio shot of the figurine and tablet offers a glimpse into Japan's past, transporting us to a time when such intricate handicrafts were a common part of daily life. The image is a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling and the importance of preserving cultural heritage.
