EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to Japan in the late 18th century. The image captures a serene scene on the Sumida River, where a ferry glides through the calm waters towards two patiently waiting women on the riverbank. The artist behind this masterpiece is Torii Kiyonaga, whose name is mentioned on the object itself. Through his skilled use of paper and colour woodcut techniques, Kiyonaga brings this moment to life with remarkable detail and precision. As we gaze at this print, we can almost feel ourselves being transported onto that ferry alongside its six passengers. We can imagine their anticipation as they sail towards their destination, while simultaneously admiring the beauty of their surroundings. Meanwhile, our attention is drawn to the two women elegantly standing by on the riverbank. Their presence adds a sense of mystery and intrigue to an otherwise peaceful setting. What are they waiting for? Are they bidding farewell or eagerly anticipating someone's arrival? This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers us a glimpse into Japanese culture during that era. It reminds us of how art has always been able to transcend time and space, allowing us to connect with different periods in history.
