EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Torii Kiyonaga, we are transported to a serene and enchanting scene under a blossoming cherry tree. Two courtesans, known for their grace and beauty, stand elegantly together, their gazes turned sideways as if captivated by something beyond our view. The delicate petals of the cherry blossoms gently fall around them, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and romance. Kiyonaga's mastery in capturing the essence of these women is evident in every detail. Their elaborate kimonos adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors reflect their status as hetaera - highly skilled entertainers who were sought after for their intelligence and charm. The artist's use of color woodcut technique adds depth to the composition, allowing us to appreciate the richness of each hue. This print serves as a window into a world that existed centuries ago - one filled with opulence, refinement, and cultural significance. It reminds us of the timeless allure that nature holds over humanity; even these courtesans cannot resist stealing glances at its beauty. As we gaze upon this artwork from the Liszt Collection, we are reminded of Kiyonaga's talent in immortalizing moments like this on paper. This piece invites us to pause for a moment amidst our busy lives and appreciate the fleeting beauty that surrounds us – just like those ephemeral cherry blossoms under which these two courtesans stand so gracefully.
