EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases the "Twelve Deva Kings (Juniten)" from the 16th century, a masterpiece of unknown creator. These magnificent figures are revered as the Deva Guardians of Esoteric Buddhism during Japan's Muromachi period. Painted with meticulous detail on silk using gold ink, this artwork emanates a sense of divine power and spiritual significance. The rich green color dominates the composition, symbolizing growth, renewal, and fertility in Buddhist tradition. The Twelve Deva Kings stand tall and proud, embodying strength and protection for believers. Their striking portraits capture their individuality while also highlighting their unity as a group. Each male figure exudes an aura of authority and wisdom that is both awe-inspiring and comforting. Displayed within a pair of framed paintings at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage art piece serves as a testament to Japan's religious history and artistic prowess during the 16th century. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in the world of esoteric Buddhism through its intricate details and vivid colors. As we gaze upon this remarkable work by an anonymous artist, we cannot help but marvel at how it has stood the test of time – preserving not only religious devotion but also cultural heritage for generations to come.
