EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Four Deities of Kacyasan Temple Complex" a masterpiece created by the Japanese School in the late 14th century. Measuring 94x40.6 cm, this ink, color, and gold on silk artwork is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The painting depicts four Shinto gods (kami) who hold great significance to KAcyasan, a renowned mountain-based complex of Shingon Esoteric Buddhism during Japan's NanbokuchAc period (1336-92). The court-dressed deities featured are Kariba MyAcjin (male), Niu MyAcjin (female), Kehi (Thousand Armed Kannon), and Itsukushima MyAcjin (Benzaiten). These divine figures were worshipped by the influential Taira clan and associated with Dainichi Nyorai, symbolizing their connection to the mountain. Each deity represents different aspects of spirituality and power within Japanese culture. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this hanging scroll offers a glimpse into traditional court life and religious practices in ancient Japan. It serves as a testament to both Buddhist philosophy and Shinto beliefs that were deeply intertwined during that era. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can appreciate its historical value while immersing ourselves in the rich tapestry of Japanese artistry, religion, and tradition.
