Xi Wangmu 西王母 by 狩野常信

唐美人図（Xi Wangmu 西王母）
　Itabashi Art Museum
狩野常信 KANO Tsunenobu (Japanese, 1636-1713)

Xi Wangmu in Chinese mythology, literally "Queen Mother of the
West," is the ruler of the western paradise and goddess of immortality. She is charged with overseeing the wall of heaven. Originally, from the earliest known depictions of her in the "Guideways of Mountains and Seas" during the Zhou Dynasty, she was a ferocious goddess with the teeth of a tiger, who sent plagues down upon the world.

After she was adopted into the Taoist pantheon, she was transformed into a benign deity. In popular Chinese mythology, Xi Wangmu lived in a palace made entirely of jade, so she has often been considered the patron deity of jade carvers. She also possesses a peach tree which, every 3,000 years, produces a peach that grants immortality.

Her role with respect to immortality and everlasting happiness
probably arose from her origin as the goddess of fertility.

The current buildings of the Kyoto Imperial Palace were constructed in 1855, when several of the most eminent Japanese painters of the time were commissioned to create its interior panel paintings. These precious works serve as time capsules of Kyoto's nineteenth-century painting scene and vividly unfold the many stories of this art scene.
