EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to Japan in the late 18th century. The image features a bustling scene, beautifully captured by Torii Kiyonaga, showcasing various elements of daily life and nature's beauty. In the foreground, we see a turtle seller surrounded by five women under enchanting flower trees. Their colorful kimonos add vibrancy to the composition, while their curiosity hints at their interest in purchasing these fascinating creatures. Beside them sits a young man with a landing net, perhaps waiting patiently for his turn to catch some fish or turtles from the two water troughs nearby. A bamboo rack stands tall behind him, displaying an array of turtles and fish bowls filled with lively goldfish. As our gaze extends beyond this lively group, we are greeted by the serene backdrop of Shinobazu pond. Its tranquil waters reflect the surrounding landscape and create a sense of calm amidst all the activity. This print captures just one part of a larger triptych created by Torii Kiyonaga during his time in Japan between 1783 and 1793. His mastery of color woodcut technique is evident in every detail, bringing this vibrant scene to life on paper. With its rich cultural depiction and exquisite craftsmanship, this artwork serves as both an aesthetic delight and a window into Japanese society centuries ago.
