EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the bustling streets of Asakusa, Tokyo in 1934. The focal point is the magnificent Kannon temple, adorned with a striking red lantern above its entrance. This iconic symbol stands tall and proud, illuminating the path for visitors who ascend the stairs towards spiritual enlightenment. The artist behind this masterpiece is Kasamatsu Shiro, whose talent shines through in this vividly colored woodcut on paper. His attention to detail captures not only the grandeur of the lantern but also the diverse array of temple-goers making their way up the steps. Each individual brings their own unique energy and purpose as they embark on their journey within these sacred walls. As we gaze at this image, we can almost hear the soft rustling of kimono fabric and smell incense wafting through the air. It serves as a reminder that temples like Asakusa Kannondo Ochochin have long been places where people seek solace, guidance, or simply a moment of tranquility amidst life's chaos. This print from Liszt Collection invites us to immerse ourselves in Japanese culture and history while marveling at both artistic mastery and architectural splendor. It serves as a timeless testament to humanity's enduring quest for spirituality and connection with something greater than ourselves.
