EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Tou Mu, the Goddess of the North Star. Created in 1922 by an unknown artist, this image captures the essence of Chinese religion and Taoism. Doumu, as she is also known, represents the feminine aspect of Heaven and is believed to possess extraordinary powers symbolized by her many arms and three eyes. It is said that those seeking longevity often pray to her. The photograph portrays a serene scene with Tou Mu sitting amidst a backdrop of beautiful clouds and flowers. Dressed in traditional costume adorned with decorative robes, she exudes grace and tranquility. Her white attire signifies purity while her striking vision reflects her ability to see beyond ordinary sight. This artwork originates from "Myths and Legends of China" written by E. T. C Werner in 1922. The book delves into ancient Chinese mythology and explores various deities such as Tou Mu within their cultural context. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing portrait, we are transported back to early 20th century China during the Qing Dynasty. The intricate details captured in this illustration evoke a sense of reverence for tradition and spirituality. Through this photo print, we are invited to immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of Chinese mythology while marveling at the divine presence embodied by Tou Mu – a goddess whose significance transcends time itself.
