EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection titled "Twenty-four Japanese examples of filial piety Honors" transports us to a scene filled with profound meaning and emotion. In the foreground, a young boy engrossed in reading a document captures our attention, while an older man stands in the background, attentively listening to him. The juxtaposition of youth and wisdom creates a powerful visual narrative. The image alludes to a poignant story of selflessness and compassion. It depicts the moment when a man decides to return land he had purchased from another person's deceased father back to his destitute son. This act exemplifies filial piety, emphasizing the importance of honoring one's parents even after their passing. Accompanying this evocative artwork are two poems that further enhance its depth and significance. These verses likely provide additional context or commentary on the themes explored within the print. Furthermore, it is worth noting that this piece draws inspiration from "The Sand and Pebble Collection" an anthology of 134 humorous Buddhist stories compiled by monk Muju during the late 13th century. The inclusion of these tales adds layers of cultural richness and spiritual contemplation to this already thought-provoking composition. Created by Yashima Gakutei in Japan between 1820-1825 using paper and color woodcut techniques, this print showcases exceptional craftsmanship alongside its profound storytelling qualities.
