EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print by Hokkei, titled "Tabako o suu shinji no futari" we are transported to a shrine festival where two individuals find solace in the act of smoking. The artist skillfully captures a moment frozen in time, between the years 1818 and 1830. The scene unfolds with remarkable detail as one man gracefully dismounts his horse while the other comfortably sits on a chair. Both men are engrossed in their shared ritual, enveloped by an air of tranquility amidst the bustling festivities. Their camaraderie is palpable, transcending words as they exchange silent gestures of understanding. Hokkei's masterful use of color adds depth and vibrancy to the print, enhancing our immersion into this enchanting world. The shrine serves as a backdrop for their encounter, its sacred aura juxtaposed against their earthly indulgence. This artwork invites contemplation on themes such as tradition, connection, and moments of respite within life's hectic pace. It reminds us that even amid joyous celebrations and fervent devotion at shrines, there exists space for personal reflection and simple pleasures. Quint Lox beautifully encapsulates the essence of this mesmerizing piece from Liszt Collection through his thoughtful caption.
