Painting Description
Shinobazu Benten is a celebrated woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi, who was active during the late Edo period. Kuniyoshi, born in 1797 and passing in 1861, is widely recognized for his dynamic compositions, innovative use of color, and his ability to capture the essence of Japanese folklore, history, and daily life. His works often feature samurai, mythical creatures, and beautiful landscapes, contributing significantly to the ukiyo-e genre.
The print Shinobazu Benten is part of Kuniyoshi's extensive oeuvre that showcases his mastery in depicting both the natural and supernatural worlds. This particular piece is notable for its intricate detailing and vibrant colors, which are characteristic of Kuniyoshi's style. The subject of the print, Benten, is the Japanese goddess of everything that flows: water, time, words, speech, eloquence, music, and by extension, knowledge. She is one of the Seven Lucky Gods (Shichifukujin) in Japanese mythology and is often depicted as a beautiful woman playing a biwa, a traditional Japanese lute.
Shinobazu Benten likely refers to the Shinobazu Pond in Ueno Park, Tokyo, which is home to the Bentendo Temple dedicated to the goddess Benten. The temple and its surrounding area have been a popular subject for artists and poets throughout Japanese history, celebrated for their serene beauty and spiritual significance. Kuniyoshi's depiction of Benten in this context not only highlights his artistic skill but also reflects the cultural and religious importance of the deity and the location.
Kuniyoshi's work, including Shinobazu Benten, played a crucial role in the development of ukiyo-e and influenced many artists both in Japan and abroad. His prints remain highly valued by collectors and art historians, offering a window into the rich tapestry of Edo-period culture and the enduring legacy of Japanese art.
