EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print by Utagawa Toyokuni, titled "Geb[h]Ac no atamazori, Shaving a monks head [Daikoku shaving Fukurokujins head]" we are transported to a scene filled with intrigue and symbolism. The print showcases a woman engrossed in her reading, comfortably seated in an elegant chair next to a cabinet adorned with tea service utensils. What catches our attention is the striking image on the wall behind her - it depicts two of the seven lucky gods, Daikokuten shaving Fukurokujus head. This juxtaposition of everyday life and divine intervention adds depth to the composition. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this woodcut. From the intricate patterns on the woman's kimono to the delicate brushstrokes that bring out each character's expression, Toyokuni masterfully captures both beauty and storytelling within this single frame. As viewers, we can't help but wonder about the significance of this moment. Is it simply an ordinary day for these characters? Or does it hold deeper meaning within Japanese folklore or religious traditions? Quint Lox has skillfully curated this piece from Liszt Collection, allowing us to appreciate its historical value and artistic brilliance. Through his selection and presentation, he invites us into a world where imagination intertwines with reality, leaving us captivated by its enigmatic charm.
