EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to ancient Japan, where we witness the enchanting presence of Lady Ginjo. With her strikingly long hair cascading down her back, she sits gracefully on a balcony, accompanied by a koto, a traditional Japanese string instrument. Before commencing her performance, she delicately pushes aside her flowing sleeves with an air of anticipation. Lady Ginjo holds great significance in Japanese folklore as the younger sister of Gio and both figures feature prominently in the Stories of Heike. It is said that she was once the mistress of Taira no Kiyomori, adding an intriguing layer to her persona. Displayed as part of a triptych artwork, this particular sheet captures Lady Ginjo's elegance and musical prowess. The artist Yashima Gakutei masterfully depicts every detail using color woodcut techniques on paper dating back to 1823-1825. Accompanying this exquisite image are two poems that add depth and emotion to the scene. One can only imagine how these verses resonate with Lady Ginjo's story or perhaps reflect upon court life during that era. The Liszt Collection offers us a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage through this remarkable portrayal of Lady Ginjo and invites us to appreciate not just its artistic beauty but also its historical significance.
