EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to 18th century Japan, immersing us in a scene inside the Daifukuya house. The title of this artwork is "Scene in the Daifukuya house Daifukuya no dan" which is part of the series called "Shiraishibanashi" or "Gotaiheiki Shiraishibanashi". In this particular moment frozen in time, we witness Courtisane Miyagino standing gracefully with a pipe held delicately in her right hand. She appears deeply engrossed as her sister Shinobu sits nearby, dressed in an elegant green kimono. Shinobu seems to be sharing news about their father's passing, and Miyagino listens intently. Meanwhile, behind a sliding door, Soroku—the manager of the Daifukuya house—whispers discreetly to both women. His presence adds an air of secrecy and intrigue to the scene. The artist Torii Kiyonaga expertly captures these intricate details through his skillful use of color woodcut technique on paper. This print measures approximately 246 mm high by 188 mm wide. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported into a world filled with emotion and hidden conversations within the walls of the Daifukuya house. It serves as a testament to Kiyonaga's talent for capturing intimate moments that resonate across centuries.
