EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, we are transported to a serene scene from ancient Japan. The image showcases the renowned poet Kakinomoto no Hitomaro in his twilight years, immersed in his craft. As he sits in his room, a sense of wisdom and contemplation emanates from his aged face. Through the opening of his room, our gaze is drawn towards a picturesque hillside where a majestic pheasant gracefully roams. It seems as though nature itself has become an inspiration for Hitomaro's poetic musings. The vibrant colors of the woodcut bring life to both the poet and the surrounding landscape, evoking a sense of harmony between man and nature. Utagawa Kuniyoshi's artistic prowess shines through in this masterful composition. With meticulous attention to detail, he captures not only the physical likeness of Hitomaro but also conveys the depth of emotions that reside within him. This print serves as a testament to Kuniyoshi's skill as an artist and storyteller. As we admire this piece from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection, we are reminded of the enduring power of art to transport us across time and space. It invites us into Hitomaro's world, allowing us to witness firsthand how creativity can transcend generations and connect us with those who came before us.
