EDITORS COMMENTS
This Japanese silk painting from the early 13th century depicts a profound moment in Buddhist mythology. In this artwork titled "The Buddha is born out of the side of Queen Maya as she reaches up to a branch in her garden" we witness an extraordinary event unfold. Queen Maya, elegantly portrayed, stretches upwards towards a lush branch in her serene garden. According to ancient folklore, as Queen Maya grasps the branch with grace and determination, the Buddha emerges miraculously from her side. This symbolic birth represents not only the physical arrival of Siddhartha Gautama but also his spiritual awakening and enlightenment. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this masterpiece. The delicate silk canvas brings life to each character depicted - men and women surrounding Queen Maya, witnessing this divine occurrence with awe-struck expressions on their faces. This exquisite piece serves as a testament to both Japanese artistry and religious devotion during feudal Japan. It transports us back centuries ago when Buddhism flourished across Asia, intertwining cultures from India and Nepal into Japan's rich tapestry. As we gaze upon this enchanting print by Bradley Smith from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, let us reflect on the profound significance it holds within its brushstrokes. May it inspire contemplation about our own journey towards enlightenment while appreciating the beauty that lies within ancient traditions and beliefs.
