EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the Momoyama period in Japan. The Namban Christian portable shrine, designed to hold a religious statuette, is truly a sight to behold. Measuring 67.5x27.5x13 cm, this ornate cabinet exudes an air of elegance and spirituality. The intricately crafted doors open up to reveal a stunning Romanesque proscenium arch, adding an element of grandeur to the overall design. The high dados feature beautifully molded stylized flowers in Mughal style, showcasing the fusion of different artistic influences. Every detail on this lacquered masterpiece speaks volumes about its cultural significance and historical context. It serves as a testament to the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Japanese art during that era. The floral decorations adorning the shrine add an exquisite touch, while also hinting at Asian influences that were prevalent during this time period. This portable furniture piece not only served as a container for religious artifacts but also stood as an embodiment of devotion and reverence. Preserved in private collection today, this photograph captures the essence of this magnificent artwork with precision and clarity thanks to eChristies Images and Bridgeman Images' expertise in fine art photography.
