EDITORS COMMENTS
This line drawing depicts Benten, also known as Benzaiten, the revered Japanese Buddhist goddess of music, eloquence, and wealth. In this portrait, she is gracefully seated while playing a biwa, a traditional Japanese musical instrument. The artist skillfully captures her serene expression and elegant posture. Benten's presence exudes an aura of divinity with her halo radiating behind her. As the goddess of music and eloquence, she holds great significance in Japanese culture where art forms like poetry and music are highly valued. Her mastery over the biwa symbolizes her ability to inspire creativity and evoke emotions through harmonious melodies. Not only associated with artistic endeavors but also considered a deity of wealth, Benten represents prosperity and abundance. She embodies the aspirations for financial success held by many in society. The inclusion of a serpent near Benten further emphasizes her connection to Shinto beliefs as serpents are often regarded as sacred creatures in this religion. Through this exquisite print, viewers can appreciate the beauty and power embodied by Benten – a symbol of gracefulness combined with talent across various domains. This artwork serves as a reminder that artistic expression has long been cherished in Japan's upper-class society while showcasing the rich cultural heritage surrounding Buddhism and Shintoism intertwined within its traditions.
