EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we witness a tender moment between a mother and daughter in Japan circa 1823. The image showcases a woman delicately biting off pieces of paper from a long letter, while her young daughter skillfully folds cranes with the discarded scraps. This beautiful scene is enhanced by the presence of a kimono hanging over a nearby rack, adding an element of traditional Japanese culture to the composition. The artist behind this mesmerizing colour woodcut is Joren Hokutei, whose name is mentioned on the object itself. Through his masterful craftsmanship, he brings to life the intricate details and emotions within this intimate family tableau. Accompanying this visual masterpiece is an evocative poem that speaks of a young woman who lovingly engages in crane-folding activities with her child amidst shore-birds and wading-birds. This poetic addition adds depth and symbolism to the artwork, inviting viewers to contemplate themes of familial bonds, nature's beauty, and fleeting moments captured in time. This print serves as both an aesthetic delight for art enthusiasts and as a poignant reminder of the timeless connection between generations. It transports us back to 19th century Japan while highlighting universal themes that resonate across cultures and eras.
