Series; The Eight Aspects of Buddha in Modern Day Sketches
Maya-fujin with the White Elephant she Dreamt of Before the Buddha's Conception, 1860 - Intriguing design from a rarely seen Kunisada II series depicting the eight major episodes in the life of the historical Buddha in a modern setting. Here, Maya-fujin, the mother of Shaka Nyorai (Buddha), dreams of a white elephant before her son's conception. She stands in a cloud of white mist, the elephant behind her, smiling sweetly down at a man sitting on a bed. He returns her smile as he looks up from reading a scroll stretched out between his hands. An attractive design, nicely colored and detailed with embossing in the white kimono trim and the man's pale blue kimono.
