EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Poet, Ariwara Narihira" from 'The Kokka', September 1910. The image, a color lithograph created by the Japanese School in the 20th century, emanates an air of pensive contemplation and deep thought. In this portrait, we see Ariwara Narihira seated in traditional attire, his gaze fixed on something beyond our view. His posture exudes a sense of introspection as he scratches his head with a calligraphy set nearby, suggesting that he is immersed in the world of words and ideas. Narihira's expression reveals a profound connection to his craft. As one of Japan's most celebrated poets from the Heian period (825-880), he was renowned for his lyrical verses and emotional depth. This image captures him at a moment when inspiration strikes or perhaps when he grapples with the complexities of life through writing. The attention to detail in Narihira's costume further emphasizes his adherence to tradition and cultural heritage. Every fold and fabric choice speaks volumes about his status as both an artist and a representative figure within society. While it remains uncertain whether this depiction is based on a self-portrait or not, its historical significance cannot be denied. Preserved within the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this artwork allows us to glimpse into the mind of an influential poet whose words continue to resonate across centuries. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this momentous piece from Fine Art Finder without compromising its essence or commercializing its beauty. Through their lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the thoughtful presence of Ariwara Narihira – forever immortalized through artistry and skillful craftsmanship.
