EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Reading Woman, Woman with a book in her hand looks around at a large object next to her" we are transported to Japan during the early 19th century. The image showcases a woman engrossed in her reading, her delicate fingers gently holding onto the pages of the book. Her curious gaze is directed towards an intriguing object placed beside her - an incense burner adorned with a depiction of Jo and Uba, an older couple symbolizing longevity and marital bliss. The artist behind this masterpiece is Totoya Hokkei, whose name is mentioned on the object itself. Through his skillful use of colour woodcut technique on paper, he brings life to every intricate detail within this composition. The vibrant hues and meticulous lines create a sense of depth and realism that captivates our imagination. This artwork not only captures a serene moment but also tells us a story through its symbolism. The presence of Jo and Uba reminds us of the importance of enduring love and happiness in marriage while celebrating the beauty found in long-lasting relationships. As we admire this exquisite piece from the Liszt Collection, let us immerse ourselves in its poetic charm and appreciate both the artistry involved as well as its cultural significance within Japanese history.
