EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Emperor Xuanzong Japanese Gensō Daoist Magician Lo Gongyuan Arising" showcases the exquisite artistry of the Edo period in Japan. Created around 1827 by Yashima Gakutei, a renowned woodblock artist, this privately published surimono print was typically commissioned for individual poets or poetry groups to form New Year greeting cards. The image features Emperor Xuanzong, a prominent historical figure from China's Tang Dynasty, portrayed as a mystical and enigmatic character. The vibrant polychrome colors bring life to the scene, highlighting the intricate details of his attire and surroundings. Standing beside him is Lo Gongyuan, a Daoist magician known for his extraordinary abilities. Inscribed with witty thirty-syllable verses commonly referred to as kyōka poems, these prints usually include felicitous imagery connected to springtime as it marks the beginning of the lunar calendar on the first day of the month. The composition also incorporates elements such as an inkstone and ink symbolizing creativity and intellectual pursuits. Measuring approximately 8 x 7 1/16 inches (203 x 179 cm), this print exemplifies Gakutei's mastery in capturing both beauty and symbolism within his artwork. It serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage during this era. Artokoloro has skillfully preserved this remarkable piece from their Liszt Collection, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance
