EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print by Torii Kiyonaga, titled "Ikawabata Yuryo, Cooling off near the river bank" we are transported to a serene scene along the Sumida River. The year is 1785, and three elegant women can be seen strolling leisurely next to the glistening water, seeking respite from the evening heat. Kiyonaga's masterful use of color brings life to this tranquil moment. Shades of blue and green dominate the print, evoking a sense of coolness and calmness that perfectly captures the essence of a summer evening. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, as he skillfully depicts each woman's flowing kimono and delicate features. As we gaze at this artwork, we can almost feel the refreshing breeze rustling through our hair and hear the gentle lapping of water against the riverbank. It is a snapshot frozen in time – a brief escape from reality into an idyllic world where one can momentarily forget their worries. "Ikawabata Yuryo" serves as a reminder that nature has always been humanity's sanctuary – a place where we seek solace and rejuvenation. This timeless piece invites us to join these graceful figures on their riverside stroll, encouraging us to take pause in our busy lives and appreciate life's simple pleasures. Quint Lox beautifully encapsulates this sentiment with his caption for Liszt Collection: "Cooling off near the river bank
