1832 Colour Woodcut Folded Hands Praying Terrace Two Poems Wearing Eboshi Mentioned

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to ancient Japan, capturing a serene moment of devotion. The image showcases the esteemed nobleman Hojo no Tokimasa (1135-1215) on a tranquil terrace overlooking the vast sea. With folded hands and closed eyes, he engages in deep prayer, seeking solace and guidance. Tokimasa is dressed in an elegant green kimono that exudes sophistication and grace. Topping his attire is a black high court hat called eboshi, symbolizing his prestigious status within society. The contrast between his attire and the natural surroundings creates a visually striking composition. The artist has skillfully incorporated two poems into this artwork, adding depth to its meaning. These verses are attributed to Aoigaoka Keisei, whose name is mentioned on the object itself. Through these poetic lines, we can imagine the inner thoughts and emotions that accompany Tokimasa's prayers. Dating back to 1832, this paper print was created using colour woodcut techniques prevalent during that era. Its delicate details and vibrant hues bring life to every element depicted in this mesmerizing scene. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of Japanese artistry, we are reminded of the timeless beauty found in moments of introspection and spiritual connection with nature's wonders.
