EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cormorant fishing boats on the Nagae river in Kawado Kawado Nagaegawa ukaibune" takes us back to a bygone era of traditional Japanese fishing practices. The image showcases a serene night scene, with a fishing boat illuminated by the warm glow of fire. A pipe-smoking man stands at the helm, his gaze fixed upon four leashed cormorants held by another man beside him. The cormorants play a crucial role in this ancient technique as they dive into the water to catch fish attracted by the flames. Their clasped necks prevent them from swallowing their prey, allowing fishermen to easily retrieve the fish from their beaks. This harmonious partnership between humans and birds is beautifully captured in this artwork. In the background, more fishing boats can be seen dotting the tranquil river, creating an enchanting atmosphere that transports viewers to a different time and place. Created using paper and color woodcut techniques between 1838 and 1842 by Keisai Eisen, this print exemplifies both artistic skill and cultural significance. As we admire this piece from Liszt Collection, we are reminded of how art has the power to preserve traditions and transport us across centuries. It serves as a visual testament to humanity's ingenuity in harnessing nature's resources while maintaining harmony with it.
