EDITORS COMMENTS
This color woodblock print, titled "Murasaki Shikibu, 1779-1789" by Torii Kiyonaga transports us to the Edo period in Japan. The image depicts a seated Murasaki Shikibu, a renowned female poet and author, finding inspiration on a terrace overlooking a picturesque lake. As she gazes into the distance with an air of thoughtfulness and pensive expression, we can almost feel her creative energy flowing. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this literary genius who is best known for writing "The Tale of Genji". This timeless romance novel has captivated readers for centuries and continues to inspire writers today. In this print, we witness Murasaki Shikibu herself immersed in her own world of imagination as she contemplates the blank page before her. The serene setting adds depth to the scene; Ishiyama Temple on Lake Biwa serves as both backdrop and muse for our protagonist. The tranquility of nature seems to echo within Murasaki's soul as she seeks solace in its beauty. Kiyonaga's attention to detail brings every element of this composition to life - from the delicate folds of Murasaki's kimono to the intricate patterns adorning her surroundings. Through his artistry, he invites us into Murasaki Shikibu's world and allows us a glimpse into her creative process. This remarkable print not only honors one of Japan's most celebrated female writers but also reminds us that creativity knows no boundaries or
