EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to ancient Japan, where two weary travelers find solace on their journey. The image depicts a serene scene: a road that winds past a magnificent temple, with lush greenery framing the path. As our eyes follow the road, we notice a monk ascending the stone stairs towards the Koshindo shrine. The Koshindo holds great significance for travelers as it is dedicated to Koshin, the patron saint of those embarking on long journeys. It serves as a sanctuary for weary souls seeking protection and guidance along their arduous paths. The vibrant colors of this woodcut bring life to every detail - from the intricate architecture of the temple to the delicate cherry blossoms adorning its surroundings. Accompanying this mesmerizing visual are two poems that further enhance its allure. These verses, written by Ryuryukyo Shinsai in 1800, capture both the physical and spiritual essence of travel. They invite us to reflect upon our own journeys and embrace moments of tranquility amidst life's constant motion. As we gaze at this remarkable artwork, we can almost feel ourselves transported into its world - walking alongside these travelers as they seek respite at this sacred shrine. This print not only captures an exquisite moment frozen in time but also invites us to explore our own inner wanderlust and find solace within our personal pilgrimages.
