EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to Edo-era Japan in the year 1827. Titled "Horse A'ji Uma-Oji Famous places" it showcases a mesmerizing scene of a young girl diligently washing a large varnished tray at a water basin. The significance of this image lies not only in its depiction of daily life but also in its connection to the zodiac sign of horse and Oji, a suburb of Edo. The artist, Yashima Gakutei, skillfully captures the essence of nature through intricate details of plants and vegetation surrounding the girl. Delicate flowers bloom and blossom, adding an enchanting touch to this already picturesque setting. Accompanying this stunning visual are three thought-provoking poems that further enhance our appreciation for Japanese culture and artistry. As we gaze upon this color woodcut on paper measuring 211 mm by 186 mm, we can't help but be transported into another world - one where tradition meets beauty. This print is not just an ordinary piece; it holds historical value as part of the series titled "Famous places in Edo and the twelve signs of the zodiac". It serves as a window into Japan's rich heritage and allows us to marvel at its artistic prowess even centuries later.
