EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Hsun Ch'ing's pilgrimage during the Heian and Kamakura periods. Painted by Nagataka Fujiwara, a prominent artist from the 13th century Tosa School in Japan, this handscroll is now housed at the Osaka Museum of Fine Arts. The image transports us to a world where Confucianism thrived, as we witness Hsun Ch'ing embarking on his spiritual journey. The scroll depicts various elements that symbolize different aspects of his pilgrimage. A flying duck gracefully soars across the sky, representing freedom and transcendence. A fox lurks in the background, reminding us of its significance in Japanese folklore as a mystical creature with shape-shifting abilities. As our eyes wander through this masterpiece, we are mesmerized by a meticulously designed formal garden that exudes tranquility and harmony. The landscape unfolds before us like an intricate tapestry woven with delicate brushstrokes. Hsun Ch'ing himself stands tall amidst this serene setting, embodying wisdom and enlightenment. His presence invites contemplation and reflection upon life's deeper meaning. This print not only showcases exceptional artistic skill but also provides insight into ancient Japanese culture and spirituality. It serves as a visual testament to Hsun Ch'ing's devotion to his faith and reminds us of humanity's eternal quest for understanding and self-discovery.
