EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a woman with a koto, a traditional Japanese string instrument, delicately placed on her lap. The image is part of the "Woman Koto Lap Series" created specifically for the Hisakataya Poetry Association. The series title, "Hisakataya Gobantsuzuki" is inscribed on the object itself. Set against the backdrop of a blossoming cherry tree, this particular print is the second in a five-panel collection. It features two beautifully written poems that pay homage to dignitaries at court. One poem mentions BB, possibly referring to an important figure within the association or perhaps even an esteemed individual associated with Lady-in-Waiting. The artist behind this exquisite woodcut is Yashima Gakutei, whose name appears on the object as well. Created around 1823 in Japan, this piece measures approximately 216 mm in height and 184 mm in width. The vibrant colors and intricate details captured through this paper-based medium truly bring life to both the woman and her musical companion under nature's enchanting canopy. This print offers viewers a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage while showcasing Gakutei's mastery of color woodcut techniques
