EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Servants" offers a glimpse into the rich history of the monk Ippen, who lived from 1239 to 1289. Created by an anonymous Japanese artist in the 18th century, this watercolor on paper artwork is housed at Musee Cernuschi in Paris, France. The image showcases a serene landscape with a sheltered building situated near a tranquil lake. In this setting, we witness monks and their devoted servants engaged in various activities. The scene reflects the teachings and practices of Ippen, who was renowned for his extensive travels across Japan to spread Amidabutsu (the Buddha Amitābha) and establish the Jishu sect of Buddhism. The painting beautifully captures the harmonious relationship between priests and their attendants as they work together towards spiritual enlightenment. The servants play an essential role in supporting the religious orders led by these dedicated clergy members. With its vibrant colors and meticulous details, this artwork serves as both a visual delight and an invaluable historical document. It provides us with insight into religious life during that era while highlighting the significance of service within Buddhist traditions. As we admire this remarkable piece from eArchives Charmet's collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic merits but also its ability to transport us back in time to explore profound aspects of faith and devotion through artistry.
