EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a mesmerizing arrangement of plover shells, raw mussel, and brocade shell Chidorigai namakaki nishikigai. The title on the object reveals that it is part of a series called "Kaitsukushi" which further enhances its artistic significance. The composition features a large mussel at the center, surrounded by a gray pecten and five smaller shells. What makes this piece truly unique are the three poems incorporated into the artwork. One of these poems beautifully captures the essence of weaving brocade, reminiscent of the intricate patterns found in the brocade shell itself. The poem evokes imagery of children belonging to divers who come together on the beach to meticulously comb through sand in search of these exquisite brocade shells and other molluscs. It speaks to both nature's beauty and human craftsmanship. Created by Totoya Hokkei in Japan during 1821, this paper-based color woodcut measures approximately 204 mm in height and 174 mm in width. The attention to detail is evident throughout every element depicted within this art form. As we admire this print from afar, we can't help but appreciate how it effortlessly combines natural elements with poetic verses, creating an enchanting visual experience that transports us back to ancient Japan.
