🌿⚡ A Timeless Fusion of Old & New Culture 🎨🏯
The perfect blend of past and present—where history meets modernity! 🏛️✨
Visited the Tokyo National Museum to admire a high-resolution facsimile of the legendary “Wind God and Thunder God Screens” (Fūjin Raijin-zu Byōbu). 🌪️⛈️ Originally an Important Cultural Property, the artwork is a stunning representation of nature’s overwhelming power, depicted through these two dynamic deities.
👀 Key Highlights: 📌 The Wind God (green) bursts onto the right screen, whipping up powerful gusts. 📌 The Thunder God (white) stands firm, ready to counterbalance the storm. 📌 The blurred ink rain clouds create depth, making the two gods almost come alive!
While the original piece is not currently on display, this exquisite facsimile allows us to appreciate the artistic genius behind it. 🖌️🎭
