EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a delicate arrangement of a flowering bindweed in a porcelain bowl, accompanied by its vibrant purple, white, and blue blossoms. The bindweed's leaf gracefully floats atop the water-filled vessel, while a pair of scissors rests in the foreground, hinting at the artistry involved in creating this composition. The image is enriched by four poems that celebrate the enchanting inflorescence of the bindweed. One poem playfully suggests that these wind-born flowers must be famished as they unfurl each morning before breakfast. This tradition of cultivating various types of bindweeds flourished during Japan's late Edo period (1800-1868), reflecting their beloved activity. Created by Yashima Gakutei, an esteemed artist mentioned on the object itself, this paper-based color woodcut transports us to 19th-century Japan. With meticulous attention to detail and skillful execution, Gakutei captures both the ephemeral beauty and timeless allure of nature. As we gaze upon this exquisite artwork from Liszt Collection (not affiliated with any company or for commercial use), we are reminded of how fleeting life can be – just like these bindweed flowers that open early in the morning only to close before noon. It invites us to appreciate every moment and find solace in nature's transient yet awe-inspiring creations.
