EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bird Tori: Flowers, Birds, Wind and Moon" transports us to ancient Japan. In this mesmerizing scene, a man skillfully plays a mouth organ while a majestic phoenix soars gracefully overhead. The image is reminiscent of the legendary flute player Shoshi from the Chinese Chin dynasty, known for his enchanting melodies that attracted phoenixes from heaven itself. The artwork also features two beautifully written poems and showcases fabulous animals and birds, including the mythical phoenix. Created by Totoya Hokkei in 1822 using the technique of colour woodcut on paper, this piece measures approximately 204 mm in height and 181 mm in width. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to every element within the composition. It's as if we can almost hear the melodious tunes resonating through time as we marvel at this extraordinary fusion of music and nature. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from the Liszt Collection, let our imagination take flight alongside that magnificent phoenix. Let us be transported to an era where music had such power that it could summon celestial creatures themselves.
