EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print by Yoshitoshi Taiso, we are transported to late 19th century Japan, where the powerful Shinto god of storms, Susanoo no Mikoto, stands alongside a woman on the edge of a cliff. The mystic scene unfolds as Susanoo points towards the vast expanse of the sea before them. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this fine art piece. The intricate wood cut technique brings out the depth and texture of each element portrayed. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel the intensity of the storm brewing in the distance. Susanoo no Mikoto commands our attention with his imposing presence and divine aura. His role as a deity associated with storms is emphasized through his strong stance and commanding gesture towards the tempestuous sea below. Standing beside him is a woman whose identity remains shrouded in mystery. Is she an ordinary mortal or perhaps another celestial being? Her proximity to Susanoo suggests that she may hold significance within this mythological narrative. This woodcut print not only showcases Yoshitoshi Taiso's artistic prowess but also serves as a window into Japanese mythology during the Meiji era. It invites us to explore themes such as power, nature's forces, and humanity's relationship with divinity. As we delve into its rich symbolism and historical context, let us appreciate how art has preserved these ancient tales for generations to come.
