EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing artwork from the Edo period titled "Dragon emerging from clouds". Created by the renowned artist Hokusai, this ink on paper masterpiece measures 73x49.8 cm and is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The image depicts a mythical dragon gracefully emerging from billowing clouds, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. The intricate details and skillful brushwork bring this legendary creature to life, capturing its power and majesty. As one gazes upon this artwork, they are transported into a realm where legends come alive. Dragons hold significant symbolism in Japanese culture, representing strength, wisdom, and good fortune. In mythology, these creatures were believed to possess extraordinary powers and were often associated with celestial realms. This drawing beautifully captures their ethereal presence against an expansive sky backdrop. The artist's attribution to Hokusai adds further value to this piece as he was one of Japan's most celebrated ukiyo-e painters during his time. His influence can be seen through his masterful technique and ability to convey emotion through art. This remarkable print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into Japanese legend and mythology. It stands as a testament to Hokusai's artistic prowess while reminding us of the enduring allure of mythological creatures throughout history.
