EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Great Horse Circus Osaka Osaka Kudari Daikyokuba" transports us back to 18th century Japan, capturing a mesmerizing moment from the world of circus and folklore. The image showcases a man dressed as a warrior, mounted on horseback with an air of power and grace. In his right hand, he holds a gleaming sword, symbolizing strength and bravery. Meanwhile, in his left hand rests a drum, ready to create rhythmic beats that will accompany the spectacle. What adds an intriguing twist to this scene is the presence of a hannya - a jealous female spirit known for its haunting beauty. This ethereal figure stands beside the warrior on horseback, adding an element of mystery and enchantment to the composition. Created by Torii Kiyonaga during Japan's Edo period between 1785-1790, this paper color woodcut beautifully captures both the vibrant colors and intricate details that make Japanese art so unique. With dimensions measuring at 222 mm in height and 161 mm in width, it is evident that every aspect has been carefully crafted. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, we are transported into another era where warriors rode horses alongside mythical beings in grand circuses. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and culture while allowing us to appreciate the rich history of Japan's artistic traditions.
