EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Chin en no kesho - shin nippon, Applying make-up and new Japan" artist Kobayashi Kiyochika takes us on a visual journey through the changing landscape of Japan in 1895. The print measures 37.7 x 24.7 cm and is filled with vibrant colors that bring the scene to life. At first glance, we see a battleship, an emblem of power and strength, engaging in an unexpected activity – applying make-up or lather before shaving. This juxtaposition challenges our preconceived notions about warships and invites us to reflect on the duality of human nature. Moving to the bottom image, we encounter two men walking alongside a woman holding a parasol while accompanied by a child. One man appears to be laughing heartily, suggesting joy or amusement shared among friends or family members enjoying their leisurely stroll. Kiyochika's artwork captures not only the physical transformation happening in Japan during this period but also hints at deeper societal changes taking place beneath the surface. As modernization sweeps across the nation, traditional values intertwine with emerging influences from abroad. The intricate details within this print invite viewers to delve into its layers of meaning and contemplate how these themes resonate with their own experiences in today's ever-changing world. This print from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact that offers glimpses into Japan's past while encouraging dialogue about its future trajectory
