EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "The Tengus" takes us back to the late 19th century in Japan. Created by the talented artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, this woodcut portrait showcases the fearsome mythical creatures known as Tengus. Standing tall with their legs apart, these legendary beings are depicted in striking orange and green colors, symbolizing their connection to nature and spirituality. The Tengus hold great significance in Japanese folklore and Shinto religion. With their ability to fly through the air, they are believed to be messengers of the gods, bridging the gap between humans and divine entities. Their presence evokes a sense of awe and mystery. Yoshitoshi's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his calligraphy brush. The intricate lines bring out the essence of these mythical beasts while capturing their otherworldly aura. Published in 1926 as part of The Studio Volume 91, this print has become an iconic representation of Japanese mythology during the early 20th century. Its vivid colors and powerful imagery continue to captivate viewers even today. "The Tengus" serves as a reminder of Japan's rich cultural heritage, where ancient traditions blend seamlessly with artistic expression. It invites us into a world where myth meets reality, leaving us enchanted by its beauty and intrigued by its timeless allure.
