EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases three exquisite sake bowls and three varnished rice wine saucers delicately arranged on crepe paper. The composition is both visually striking and steeped in symbolism. One of the bowls rests upside down, while the other two feature intricate depictions of a carp and a dragon swimming against a majestic waterfall. This design alludes to the ancient belief that carp capable of conquering certain rivers would eventually transform into powerful dragons. The craftsmanship displayed in this artwork reflects the mastery of Ryuryukyo Shinsai, an esteemed artist mentioned on the object itself. Created in Japan during 1820, this piece is rendered through a meticulous process involving paper and color woodcut techniques. Accompanying these remarkable visuals are three thought-provoking poems, adding another layer of depth to this already mesmerizing composition. Each element within this print harmoniously combines to create an evocative representation of Japanese culture and mythology
