EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Dragon from the 15th century, engraved by Sesshiu of the renowned Sesshiu School. The artwork is featured in "The Pictorial Arts of Japan" by William Anderson, published in London in 1886. With its intricate details and monochrome palette, this piece transports us to ancient Japan where mythical creatures held great significance. The Dragon, a legendary beast deeply rooted in Japanese mythology, is depicted here with awe-inspiring power and grace. Its sinuous body coils around itself as it soars through the heavens, exuding an air of majesty. The artist's skillful engraving technique brings out every scale on the dragon's body and captures its fierce expression perfectly. This print serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the fifteenth century. As we admire this masterpiece from centuries ago, we are reminded of the enduring allure that art holds across time and cultures. It allows us to connect with distant worlds and appreciate their unique perspectives on beauty and imagination. This remarkable print is not only a visual delight but also an invitation to explore the depths of Japanese folklore and symbolism. It stands as a testament to both Sesshiu's talent as an artist and William Anderson's dedication to preserving Japan's pictorial arts for generations to come.
