EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, dating between 1764 and 1772, showcases an updated version of the classic Japanese mythological tale of Hagoromo, or the Celestial Dancer. The image portrays a graceful woman, believed to be the Tennin, an aerial spirit, standing on a man as she carefully removes her hagoromo, or heavenly kimono, which is hanging on the branches of a tree. The man, with a look of awe and reverence, assists her in the process, offering his help in exchange for the rare opportunity to witness her celestial dance. The intricate details of the print are a testament to the masterful artistry of Japanese woodblock printing during this period. The delicate lines and subtle shading bring the ethereal figures to life, transporting the viewer to a world of myth and magic. The use of vibrant colors, particularly in the woman's robe and the foliage of the tree, adds to the enchanting atmosphere. The story of Hagoromo is deeply rooted in Japanese folklore and has been depicted in various forms of art throughout history. This particular version, with its updated interpretation, offers a unique perspective on this timeless tale. The print serves as a beautiful reminder of the power of nature, the allure of the unknown, and the transformative effects of art.
