EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Kano Yoboku Tsunenobu during the Edo period in Japan. The image depicts Benten, also known as Sarasvati, seated gracefully on a rock amidst crashing waves. Clad in vibrant silk fabric, she exudes an air of divine elegance and wisdom. Benten's focus is directed towards playing a biwa, a traditional stringed instrument that resonates with celestial melodies. As the goddess of wisdom and music, her enchanting tunes are believed to bring enlightenment and inspiration to those who listen. The artist skillfully captures the serenity of the lunar landscape surrounding Benten. A full moon illuminates the night sky while gentle waves crash against rocks nearby. This harmonious blend of nature and spirituality reflects the deep connection between Japanese culture and Buddhism. Displayed at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution, this masterpiece invites viewers to immerse themselves in Japan's rich artistic heritage. Through ink and color on silk, Kano Yoboku Tsunenobu transports us back to a time when art served as both an educational tool and a medium for religious expression. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how art transcends time and space; it allows us to appreciate different cultures while connecting with our own inner selves.
