EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to Japan in the early 19th century. The image showcases a mesmerizing scene featuring a lobster and a piece of charcoal. The vibrant red lobster gracefully climbs on top of the charcoal, creating an intriguing contrast between its vivid color and the dark background. What makes this artwork even more fascinating is the inclusion of two poems. These poetic verses add depth and meaning to the composition, inviting viewers to contemplate their significance in relation to the crustacean's ascent. The artist behind this masterpiece is Totoya Hokkei, whose name is mentioned on the object itself. Hokkei was renowned for his exceptional skills in woodblock printing during this period. His attention to detail and mastery of technique are evident in every stroke captured on paper. Measuring at approximately 194 mm in height and 171 mm in width, this meticulously polished print exemplifies Hokkei's dedication to his craft. It serves as a testament not only to his artistic prowess but also as a representation of Japanese culture during that era. As we admire this extraordinary work, let us delve into its symbolism, appreciate its aesthetic beauty, and immerse ourselves in the rich history it encapsulates – all while refraining from any commercial use or mention unrelated to appreciating art's true essence.
