EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic Satsubari, the Second of the Sixteen Arhats, dating back to the late 14th century. Created by an unknown artist, this piece is a testament to the rich heritage and artistry of that era. The image depicts a male figure dressed in traditional Japanese attire, specifically a kimono made from exquisite silk fabric. The vibrant colors used in this ink and color on silk hanging scroll add depth and life to Satsubari's portrait. Satsubari was revered as a saintly monk within Buddhism during this period. His intense gaze seems to hold ancient wisdom and mystique, hinting at his deep connection with spirituality. This portrayal captures his essence as he stands alone against a backdrop of serenity. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this remarkable piece within its collection, preserving it for generations to come. As we admire this photograph print today, we are transported back in time to experience the magic and reverence surrounding religious figures like Satsubari. Through these historical artifacts such as scrolls like these, we gain insight into Japan's cultural identity during the fourteenth century. They serve as reminders of our shared human history and provide us with glimpses into different belief systems that have shaped societies throughout time.
