EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Seven Philosophers Bamboo Forest Chikurin Shichiken" takes us on a journey to ancient Japan, circa 1828. The image showcases the essence of tranquility and wisdom as seven wise men gather around a serene bamboo grove. Each philosopher is engaged in their own unique activity - one plays the enchanting flute, another skillfully strums the biwa, while a third immerses himself in reading from an ancient scroll. The artwork belongs to a series called "Ten Prints of Famous Songs for the Katsushika Poetry Association" created by Yashima Gakutei. This particular piece captures the imagination with its intricate details and vibrant colors brought to life through the medium of paper and color woodcut. Accompanying this visual masterpiece are two poems that add depth and meaning to the scene depicted. It's fascinating how art can transcend time, allowing us to connect with past cultures and appreciate their artistic expressions. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back centuries ago when philosophy thrived amidst nature's beauty. Let it serve as a reminder that wisdom can be found not only within books but also in moments of stillness spent among nature's wonders.
