EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Box Design Benkei Bell from the Edo period in Japan (1615-1868). Created in 1862, this remarkable piece of art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan. The box itself is adorned with intricate designs and features Mokume Nuri, a traditional Japanese technique that combines gold, silver, red, and black lacquer. The bell's design pays homage to Musashibō Benkei, a legendary historical figure known for his phenomenal strength. In his right hand, he holds a Japanese halberd while being surrounded by seven weapons associated with him. This depiction highlights his prowess as a warrior during ancient times. Crafted by Shibata Zeshin (1807–1891) and Ikeda Taishin (1825–1903), two renowned Japanese artists of their time, this masterpiece reflects their exceptional skill and attention to detail. The use of Takamaki-e and Hiramaki-e techniques adds depth and texture to the artwork. As we admire this print from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to experience the grandeur of Japan's history. It serves as a visual reminder of the country's rich artistic traditions and its reverence for historical figures like Musashibō Benkei. This stunning piece invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also the cultural significance it represents within Japanese artistry.
