Sotoori Hime: A Beautiful Depiction of Japanese Mythology in Woodblock Print Form This stunning woodblock print, titled "Sotoori Hime" (Princess Sotoori), is a captivating example of traditional Japanese art. The print, which dates back to the late Edo period (1603-1868), showcases the intricate and detailed techniques of woodblock printing that were popular during this time. The image depicts Princess Sotoori, a character from Japanese mythology, who is said to have been born from a giant sea-serpent. According to the legend, the serpent was washed ashore during a storm and gave birth to the princess on the beach. She was discovered by a fisherman, who raised her as his own daughter. In this print, the princess is depicted in a graceful and elegant pose, sitting on a rock by the shore. She is dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, with a beautiful kimono and obi (sash), and her long, flowing hair is styled in intricate braids. The background features the crashing waves of the sea, with seagulls flying overhead. The intricacy and detail of the print are truly breathtaking. The artist has expertly captured the texture of the princess's clothing, the ripples in the water, and the delicate feathers of the seagulls. The use of bold, vibrant colors adds to the overall beauty and impact of the print. Woodblock printing was a popular art form in Japan during the Edo period, with artists producing intricate and detailed prints on a wide range of subjects, from landscapes and nature scenes to mythological figures and historical events. This print of Sotoori Hime is a beautiful example of the skill and artistry that went into these works, and a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional Japanese art.
