EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable drawing titled "Shakyamuni ascetic" by the renowned Japanese artist Kawanabe Kyosai. Created during the transition from the Edo period to the Meiji era, between 1860 and 1870, this artwork exemplifies Kyosai's mastery of Chinese ink and red pigment on paper. The image depicts Shakyamuni, also known as Gautama Buddha, in his ascetic form. The intricate details of this drawing bring to life the spiritual journey and self-discipline that defined Shakyamuni's path towards enlightenment. Kyosai's skillful use of line work and shading adds depth and dimension to every stroke, highlighting the artist's profound understanding of Buddhist mythology. The signature of author Seisei Kyosai can be seen on this piece along with his seal "seisi" further authenticating its origin. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation but also symbolizes the essence of Buddhism itself - peace, wisdom, and compassion. Photographed by Sylvain Collet, this print captures every nuance and subtlety present in Kyosai's original creation. As an art enthusiast or admirer of Asian culture, you can now appreciate this exquisite masterpiece that transcends time and borders.
