EDITORS COMMENTS
The Tengu King, a legendary figure in Japanese folklore, is depicted in this woodblock print from the late 17th century. Created by the renowned artist Moronobu Hishikawa or attributed to him, this artwork showcases his exceptional talent and mastery of the medium. Intriguingly, the Tengu King is shown engaged in training his pupils, offering us a glimpse into their disciplined world. The scene exudes an aura of wisdom and authority as the king imparts his knowledge to these eager students. With their swords at hand and wings symbolizing their supernatural powers, they embody both strength and grace. The composition skillfully captures the essence of East Asian aesthetics with its delicate lines and vibrant colors. Each detail meticulously rendered on this 21.1x32.7 cm print transports us into a realm where ancient traditions meet artistic excellence. Housed within The Art Institute of Chicago's prestigious Clarence Buckingham Collection, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage. Its historical significance cannot be understated as it offers valuable insights into traditional Japanese education systems while showcasing the mythical allure of tengu figures. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded that art has no boundaries - transcending time and space to connect us with distant cultures.
