EDITORS COMMENTS
This color woodblock print by Totoya Hokkei, titled "A Picture by Hishikawa Moronobu: Woman with a Set of Poem Cards" transports us to the mid-1820s in Japan. Measuring 21 x 18.4 cm, this surimono is a true masterpiece that showcases the artist's exceptional talent and attention to detail. The print depicts an elegant woman delicately holding a set of poem cards, her graceful posture exuding poise and refinement. The use of gold, silver, and embossing adds depth and texture to the artwork, enhancing its visual appeal. Hokkei pays homage to Hishikawa Moronobu, one of the most influential ukiyo-e artists of his time. Through this piece, he skillfully captures Moronobu's distinctive style while infusing it with his own artistic flair. The composition invites us into a world where beauty meets intellect as we imagine the woman composing or reciting poetry using these exquisite cards. It serves as a reminder of the importance placed on literature and art during this period in Japanese history. As we admire this rare gem from the Liszt Collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its historical significance. This woodblock print offers us a glimpse into an era when art was cherished for both its visual allure and intellectual stimulation - truly a testament to Hokkei's mastery as an artist.
