EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported to ancient Japan, where the legendary Samurai warrior Minamoto no Yoshitsune sits in serene contemplation. Clad in traditional attire, he exudes a sense of quiet strength and dignity. Perched on a luxurious brocade pillow, Yoshitsune delicately holds a sake cup in his hand, symbolizing both indulgence and ritual. Before him stands a ceremonial sake kettle, its ornate design reflecting the importance of tradition and celebration during New Year festivities. The scene is adorned with typical New Year decorations that carry profound symbolism. A miniature pine tree represents longevity and resilience while the plum tree signifies hope for new beginnings. A crane gracefully perches nearby, embodying good fortune and longevity, while a turtle symbolizes wisdom and endurance. Adding further depth to this exquisite artwork are three poems inscribed on the left sheet of this diptych composition. These verses evoke emotions of nostalgia or perhaps even longing for times gone by. Created between 1825-1829 by Keisai Eisen - an esteemed artist mentioned on the object itself - this color woodcut captures not only the beauty but also the essence of Japanese culture during that era. This remarkable piece invites us to reflect upon our own lives as we admire Yoshitsune's poised presence amidst these powerful symbols; reminding us to cherish each moment as we strive for long-lasting happiness and fulfillment.
