EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Imu Komachi, Parrot Komachi" is a masterpiece created by the renowned artist Katsukawa Shunsho between 1776 and 1785. Measuring at 14.9 x 21 cm, this fan-shaped artwork transports us to a scene of poetic beauty and intrigue. In this print, we witness a nobleman donning an elegant trailing robe while standing in front of the aged poetess Ono Komachi. The setting takes place outside a small building where they engage in an exchange that holds profound significance. The nobleman serves as a counsellor for Emperor Yozei and has just delivered a poem from the Emperor himself to Ono Komachi. What makes this interaction truly remarkable is how Ono Komachi responds with her own poetic prowess. She skillfully alters a single character in the poem, thereby changing its entire meaning. This act showcases her wisdom and mastery over language. "Imu Komachi, Parrot Komachi" belongs to the Nana Komachi series and holds the distinction of being number five within it. Through vibrant colors and intricate details characteristic of woodcut prints, Shunsho brings this historical moment to life before our eyes. As we gaze upon this print from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary encounter between two literary figures whose words hold immense power and artistry.
