EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Legend of Old Japan" takes us on a journey into the mystical world of Japanese mythology. Created by Arthur C. Michael, this colour lithograph beautifully depicts a scene from an ancient tale. The image showcases Hoori, also known as Hohodemi and Yamasaschihiko, engaged in a heated argument with his brother Hoderi over a lost fish-hook that Hoori had borrowed. Determined to retrieve the hook, Hoori descends to the depths of the sea where he encounters an enchanting underwater realm. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported to the seabed where marine life thrives amidst vibrant hues and ethereal lighting. The mythical eel gracefully glides through the water while other fish curiously observe their human visitor. Intriguingly, it seems that even beneath the waves, communication is possible as Hoori engages in conversation with these mythological creatures. This illustration captures both wonder and imagination as it brings to life an age-old legend cherished in Japanese folklore. With its rich cultural symbolism and intricate details, this children's illustration not only captivates young minds but also sparks curiosity among adults about ancient tales passed down through generations. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this print from Bridgeman Images serves as a reminder of our fascination with animals and wildlife intertwined within captivating narratives from distant lands.
