This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a stunning artwork titled "ÒÇÄÕÆîõ©ëþÑ×ÒÇŵƒ┐µ£¼õ║║Ú║╗Õæé Edo period". Created during the Edo period in Japan, around the 1820s, this polychrome woodblock print is a true masterpiece. The artist behind this exquisite piece is Yashima Gakutei, a renowned Japanese painter and printmaker who lived from 1786 to 1868. This privately published woodblock print was typically commissioned by individual poets or poetry groups as a form of New Year greeting card. The poems inscribed on these prints are commonly known as kyōka, which are witty thirty-syllable verses. What makes this artwork truly remarkable is its felicitous imagery connected to the arrival of spring. As per the lunar calendar, spring begins on the first day of each month. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life scenes that celebrate nature's awakening after winter slumber. Measuring at approximately 8 x 5 1/4 inches (203 x 133 cm), this surimono ink and color on paper print captures every delicate brushstroke with precision and elegance. It serves as an exceptional example of traditional Japanese artistry during the Edo period. Art enthusiasts will surely appreciate owning such a rare gem that beautifully encapsulates both
