EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured print on paper, titled "One of the Twelve Devas: Katen" is a captivating representation from 14th-century Japan. Created by an unknown artist during the Nanbokuchō period, this artwork showcases the rich heritage and religious significance of Buddhism in Japanese culture. The portrait features a fierce-looking male figure with a long white beard and bare feet, embodying the essence of Katen, one of the Twelve Devas. The vibrant flames surrounding him symbolize his role as a guardian against evil forces. With its meticulous details and use of brown and white colours, this painting evokes both power and serenity. Hanging gracefully as a scroll at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Chester, Cheshire, England, this piece serves as a testament to cross-cultural influences throughout history. Its presence invites viewers to contemplate spirituality and explore Buddhist concepts within their own lives. As we admire this remarkable image captured centuries ago, we are reminded that art transcends time and space. It connects us to our past while inspiring contemplation about our present beliefs and values. This hand-coloured print stands as an invaluable treasure within The Metropolitan Museum's collection – an exquisite glimpse into ancient Japanese artistry that continues to captivate audiences today.
