EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Miyagawa Choshun, a renowned creator from the Edo period in Japan. The focal point of this piece is the Gyoran Kannon, also known as the fish basket bodhisattva. This divine figure, depicted in ink and color on paper, represents Avalokiteshvara or Guanyin - a compassionate deity in Buddhism. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke of Choshun's brush, bringing life to the bamboo basket held by the Gyoran Kannon. The flowing calligraphy adds an element of grace and spirituality to this hanging scroll. Dressed in traditional white kimono attire, this female bodhisattva exudes serenity and wisdom. Her presence evokes a sense of tranquility that transcends time and space. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this masterpiece reflects both cultural heritage and religious significance. It serves as a testament to Choshun's artistic prowess and his ability to capture the essence of Japanese tradition through his work. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to ancient Japan; we can almost feel the peaceful aura emanating from Gyoran Kannon herself. This photograph print allows us to appreciate not only Choshun's talent but also the rich tapestry of beliefs and customs that have shaped Japanese society for centuries.
