EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of SUGAWARA no MICHIZANE, a prominent figure in Japanese history during the Heian period (845-903). The image showcases Michizane standing atop Mt. Tempai-san, clutching a bamboo stick that bears false charges against him. This detail is taken from a scroll dating back to c1219. Michizane's story unfolds as he was banished from his homeland due to political turmoil and power struggles. Despite being an esteemed scholar, poet, and politician, he found himself unjustly accused and exiled. In this poignant moment frozen in time, we witness Michizane's resilience and determination as he holds onto the evidence of his innocence. The scroll itself is a remarkable piece of artistry that beautifully depicts the turbulent times of Kamakura-era Japan. Its intricate details bring forth emotions of sympathy for Michizane's plight while also showcasing the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during this period. Through this photo print, viewers are transported back to the 10th century when honor and reputation held immense importance in Japanese society. It serves as a reminder of both human strength in adversity and the enduring legacy left by individuals like Sugawara no Michizane.
