EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the meeting between Takenouchi no Sukune, a legendary Japanese statesman and mystic, and the Dragon King of the Sea. Created during the Meiji period in 1875-79, this bronze and glass sculpture stands tall at 137.2x101.6x66 cm in the Dallas Museum of Art, Texas. The image showcases Takenouchi no Sukune standing before a crystal ball, his gaze fixed upon it with an air of intrigue and reverence. The mythical Dragon King emerges from the depths of the sea, its majestic presence reflected in every intricate detail of this remarkable sculpture. In East Asian mythology, this encounter holds great significance as it symbolizes a harmonious connection between man and nature's mystical forces. As legends go, Takenouchi no Sukune possessed extraordinary wisdom that allowed him to communicate with these powerful beings. The artist skillfully brings forth elements of mythological storytelling through their craftsmanship. Each stroke on bronze breathes life into both characters - one mortal yet enlightened by ancient knowledge; the other divine yet willing to share its secrets. As we delve into Japan's rich history and folklore through this artwork, we are reminded of humanity's eternal fascination with myths and legends. This piece serves as a testament to our enduring desire to understand our place within a world where magic intertwines with reality.
