EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print by Okumura Masanobu, titled "Tekkai sennin, Parody of the Chinese sage Tieqiao" we are transported to a whimsical world where magic and enchantment intertwine. The scene depicts a woman delicately placing her hands over a man's eyes while blowing a gentle puff of air towards him. Miraculously, on that very breath, a small male figure ascends into the air. The artist skillfully captures the essence of wonder and surprise in this artwork. The expressions on the characters' faces reveal their astonishment at witnessing such an extraordinary event unfold before them. As if drawn by invisible strings, the tiny figure gracefully rises higher and higher. Adding to the intrigue is another woman standing nearby, waving enthusiastically at the man floating on the puff of air. She holds out a small package as if offering it to him - perhaps containing some secret or gift that awaits his arrival. Okumura Masanobu's masterful use of woodcut technique brings depth and texture to every element in this composition. From intricate details like flowing robes to delicate facial features, each stroke contributes to creating an immersive visual experience for viewers. This print serves as both entertainment and homage to Chinese culture through its playful parody of Tieqiao, inviting us into a realm where imagination knows no bounds.
