EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a stunning set of folding screens titled "SeiAśbAś long-haired turtle". The two parts of this miniature chamber screen depict a mesmerizing scene on the left, where an island is carried by a majestic long-haired turtle, known as minogame in Japanese folklore. On the right side, we are introduced to the enchanting Chinese fairy Seiobo and her loyal servant amidst a backdrop of lush banana leaves. The intricate details of this artwork include a bowl filled with immortality peaches resting on a table, symbolizing longevity and eternal life. The presence of the long-haired turtle further reinforces this theme, as it represents an extended lifespan due to the belief that its seaweed tail would only grow after 10,000 years. Adding to its allure are two beautifully composed poems accompanying the image. Created by Ryuryukyo Shinsai in Japan around 1825, this paper-based color woodcut measures approximately 208 mm in height and 182 mm in width. Immerse yourself in the mystical world depicted within these folding screens and let your imagination wander through time and space. This extraordinary piece invites contemplation on themes of immortality, nature's wonders, and mythical beings - truly capturing both artistic excellence and cultural significance.
