Giclée - Benzaiten (Sarasvati) with Two Dragons - Mayumi Oda

Known as Sarasvati in India and Benzaiten (Benten) in Japan, this beloved goddess symbolizes wisdom, music, poetry, learning, and the flowing energy of life. As a river goddess, she also came to represent prosperity, ethical commerce, and abundance.

In this artwork, Benzaiten wears a crown of a white serpent and plays a traditional biwa, the Japanese counterpart to the Indian veena. Behind her, two dragons hold the Three Treasures of Buddhism—Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha—representing spiritual wisdom and protection.

Inspired by Mayumi Oda's childhood memories of visiting the sacred Zeniarai Benzaiten Shrine in Kamakura, this painting reflects the traditions of blessings, renewal, and the harmonious flow of prosperity.
