k Beside a White Cock and Hen From the Series The Spring Cave, 1825. Creator Totoya Hokkei Japanese, 17801850. Beside a White Cock and Hen From the Series The Spring Cave, 1825. These elegant surimono prints come from a set of five images inspired by the legend of the Shinto Supreme Sun Goddess, Amaterasu. She was once so offended by her brother that she retreated to a cave, leaving the earth in darkness. Several attempts to lure her out with cocks crowing, musicmaking, and a goddess dancing failed, but a mirror hung from a nearby tree made Amaterasu curious, bringing her to the entrance of the cave. A stone was quickly placed at the entrance to block her way back into the cave, and light was restored to the world. Each print is set against a blue evening sky with embossed clouds enriched with gold, silver, and copper. Editorial Stock Photo - Afloimages
