EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print from the Edo period, titled "Life Nichiren Vision Prayer Waves" is a true masterpiece by Utagawa Kuniyoshi. Created around 1835 in Japan, this artwork measures approximately 8 7/8 x 13 3/4 inches (225 x 349 cm) and belongs to a series of prints that beautifully depict the life and teachings of Nichiren, an iconoclastic founder of a Buddhist sect. In this particular scene, we witness one of the dramatic moments from Nichiren's biography. The main focus lies on the devout priest himself, deep in prayer and invoking praise through sutra recitation. Surrounding him are vibrant ocean waves symbolizing his arduous journey as he travels into exile on Sado Island in 1272. The fine details captured by Kuniyoshi showcase his exceptional skill as an artist. From the intricate depiction of lotus blossoms to the delicate brushwork used for rendering each wave, every element adds depth and meaning to this composition. Inspired by Nichiren's unwavering faith and dedication, legions of followers have been moved throughout history up until present day. This print serves as a testament to their devotion while also paying homage to the enduring legacy left behind by both Nichiren and Kuniyoshi. Artokoloro has once again presented us with a remarkable piece that not only showcases Japanese artistry but also offers us insight into profound spiritual beliefs held during this
