Girl Leaping from Kiyomizu Temple, c. 1765 - A Leap of Faith for a Wish Granted
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Torii Kiyotsune transports us back to the vibrant Edo period in Japan. The scene captures the daring act of a young girl leaping from the stage of the renowned Kiyomizu Temple, located amidst breathtaking cherry blossoms and lush greenery. It is said that if one were to survive this audacious 13-meter jump, their deepest wish would be granted. The artist's attention to detail shines through as he beautifully depicts every element of this mesmerizing moment. The girl's traditional kimono billows gracefully around her as she defies gravity with unwavering determination. Her parasol adds a touch of elegance while providing shade from the warm sunlight filtering through the trees. Surrounded by onlookers dressed in exquisite traditional costumes, we can feel their collective anticipation and belief in this age-old superstition. In the background, Kiyomizu Temple stands tall and majestic, symbolizing centuries of religious devotion and spiritual significance. Kiyotsune's mastery of ukiyo-e woodblock printing brings this scene to life with its vivid colors and meticulous craftsmanship. Through his artistry, he invites us to contemplate themes such as faith, nature's wonders, and cultural heritage. As we gaze upon "Girl Leaping from Kiyomizu Temple" we are reminded that sometimes it takes an extraordinary leap into uncertainty to manifest our deepest desires – a testament not only to human ambition but also to the enduring power of tradition and belief in shaping our lives.
