EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Immortal Rokô Rokô" is a parody of biographies of wise men by courtesans. The series consists of seven prints, with the overall series title being "Keisei mitate ressenden - nanaban no uchi". In this particular image, we see a courtesan adorned in an exquisite kimono embellished with a long-haired turtle known as minogame. The positioning of the depicted turtle creates an illusion that the courtesan is riding on its back, reminiscent of Roko, a Chinese immortal who was often portrayed as a young person riding such turtles. These majestic creatures symbolize longevity and are believed to grow tails made of seaweed after 10,000 years. The artist behind this masterpiece is Yashima Gakutei, who skillfully captures the essence of both beauty and satire in his work. This paper print showcases Gakutei's talent in color woodcut technique and measures approximately 207 mm in height and 183 mm in width. With just one poem accompanying this artwork, Gakutei manages to convey multiple layers of meaning through his portrayal. The fusion between the world of courtesans and ancient legends adds depth to this piece while inviting viewers to contemplate themes such as immortality and wisdom. Created around 1821-1822 in Japan, this print from Liszt Collection serves as a testament to Gakutei's artistic prowess and continues to captivate audiences with its intricate details and thought-provoking symbolism.
