EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a stunning display of Japanese artistry and culture. At its center, we see an exquisite headdress in the shape of a rooster head, known as torika car. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this ornate piece is a testament to the skill and creativity of its maker. Beside the headdress lies a partially opened fan, adding an elegant touch to the composition. Its delicate design hints at hidden stories and secrets waiting to be unraveled. Adjacent to it rests a striking red mask featuring a long nose - that of a mythical mountain creature called tengu. This enigmatic figure has been revered in Japanese folklore for centuries. The three poems accompanying this artwork further enhance its allure. They invite us into a world where beauty intertwines with symbolism and emotions are expressed through carefully chosen words. The presence of Ryuryukyo Shinsai's name on the object suggests that this masterpiece was created by his skilled hand. Dating back to 1825, this paper print captures not only Japan's rich artistic heritage but also offers us glimpses into their traditions and beliefs. It serves as a reminder that art can transcend time and space, allowing us to connect with different cultures across generations
