A Timeless Tale of Beauty and Mortality 🪞🖼️

This captivating artwork presents a profound meditation on the duality of human nature through its striking visual narrative. The painting depicts an elegant woman standing before King Enma's mythological mirror, a supernatural device from Japanese folklore that reveals the true essence of one's soul. What makes this piece particularly compelling is the mirror's revelation: instead of reflecting the woman's external beauty, it shows a grotesque skeleton, symbolising mortality's inevitable triumph over physical appearance.

The composition brilliantly juxtaposes ethereal feminine grace with the stark reality of human transience, creating a conversation piece that elevates any contemporary living space whilst honouring centuries-old philosophical traditions.

Kyōsai lived through one of Japan's most transformative periods, witnessing the nation's evolution from feudal society to modern state. Born the son of a samurai in Koga, his artistic journey began with a shocking childhood encounter, discovering a severed head in the Kanda River at age nine, an experience that profoundly shaped his later fascination with mortality and the supernatural.
