EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Japanese New Years card, dated 1916, showcases a stunning fusion of Japanese mythology and natural beauty. At the heart of the composition lies the iconic silhouette of Mount Fuji, or Fujiyama, the sacred mountain and cultural symbol of Japan. The mountain's unmistakable form rises majestically from the tranquil waters, its snow-capped peak reaching for the heavens. Surrounding Mount Fuji is a graceful, stylized golden sea dragon, its sinuous form undulating through the waves. In Japanese mythology, the dragon represents strength, power, and good fortune. Its presence in this New Years card is a symbol of the hope and blessings that the new year is expected to bring. The intricate details of the dragon's scales and the delicate ripples in the water are expertly rendered, creating a sense of depth and movement. The overall effect is one of harmony and balance, reflecting the Japanese values of peace, order, and respect for nature. This beautiful card, which dates back to 1916, is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of Japan. It invites us to reflect on the passing of time and the promise of new beginnings that each new year brings. Whether displayed as a decorative piece or used as a personal greeting, this card continues to inspire awe and wonder.
