EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a delicate and intricate Ryusa, dating back to the 19th century. Crafted from ivory, this ornamental piece measures approximately 4.6 cm in diameter and is part of a private collection. The Ryusa depicts the fable of saru kani kassen, which translates to "the battle between monkeys and crabs". The artist skillfully carved out a scene that portrays this mythical tale with great attention to detail. The openwork design features a stream flowing through it, adorned with stylized lotus flowers and leaves. The Asian influence is evident in the decorative motifs used throughout the carving. Delicate flowers are pierced into the surface, creating an exquisite pattern that adds depth and beauty to the piece. The round shape of the Ryusa further enhances its aesthetic appeal. Paul Freeman's expert photography captures every intricate detail of this remarkable artwork. His lens brings out the ornate craftsmanship and highlights its significance as a cultural artifact. This print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only the artistry involved but also gain insight into Japanese folklore through visual storytelling. It serves as a reminder of our rich artistic heritage and invites us to explore different cultures through their unique artistic expressions.
