EDITORS COMMENTS
Amenouzumi no Mikoto, also known as the Divine Deity of the Left, is a significant figure in Japanese mythology as recorded in the ancient text, the Kojiki. This woodblock print depicts Amenouzumi, who is often represented as a dwarf-like deity with a distinctive mask adorned with the features of a monkey, a fox, and a serpent. The mask symbolizes the deity's ability to transform and assume various forms. Amenouzumi is believed to be the god of harvest, hunting, and fertility. He is also the protector of the rice paddies and the patron deity of the Amenomiyauchi Shrine in Shimogamo, Kyoto. The deity is often depicted holding a bow and arrow or a rice stalk, emphasizing his connection to agriculture and hunting. This stunning woodblock print showcases the intricate and detailed artistry of traditional Japanese woodcutting. The vibrant colors and bold lines bring the mythological figure to life, capturing the essence of Amenouzumi's power and mystique. The intricate patterns and textures of the mask, as well as the flowing robes and lush foliage, are all rendered with exquisite precision. The woodblock print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the enduring significance of its mythological traditions. It offers a glimpse into the ancient world of the Kojiki and the fascinating beliefs and practices of the people who lived there. This beautiful and intricately detailed print is a must-have for anyone interested in Japanese mythology, art history, or Asian culture.
