Behind Buddhist Facing Flaming Halo Hindu Mythological Sash Woodblocks Woodcuts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning full-length print depicts a mythological figure from the rich cultural tapestry of either Buddhism or Hinduism, as indicated by the presence of both a long green sash and a flaming green halo behind the figure's head. The figure stands confidently with a serene expression on his face, facing directly forward, and is believed to date back to 1878. The intricately detailed woodblock print, originating from Japan, showcases the masterful artistry of traditional Japanese woodcut techniques. The use of vibrant colors, particularly the fiery green halo, adds an otherworldly and mystical quality to the figure, further emphasizing his divine nature. The long green sash, draped elegantly around the figure's waist, is a common attribute of various deities and enlightened beings in both Buddhist and Hindu traditions. The sash represents wisdom, power, and enlightenment, symbolizing the figure's spiritual attainments. The print's intricate details, from the delicate folds of the sash to the intricate patterns adorning the figure's clothing, speak to the skill and dedication of the woodblock carvers and printers who created it. This beautiful work of art is a testament to the enduring influence of mythological figures in the religious and cultural traditions of Japan and beyond.
