1762 Approximately 1830 Buckets Gathering Katsukawa Poles Salt Setting Shoulder Shows Shunsen Suspended Women Shiokumi

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Shiokumi, Salt gathering" artist Katsukawa Shunsen transports us to a serene coastal scene in 18th-century Japan. The print, created around 181-1830, measures 26 x 37.9 cm and showcases the artist's mastery of color and composition. As we gaze upon the artwork, our eyes are immediately drawn to three women gracefully moving along the shore with buckets suspended from shoulder poles. They are engaged in the ancient practice of salt gathering, a vital industry that has sustained communities for centuries. The women's silhouettes stand out against the backdrop of a mesmerizing sunset sky painted with warm hues. The setting sun adds an ethereal glow to the entire scene, casting long shadows on the sandy beach as it bids farewell to another day. Its radiant light illuminates every detail: from ripples on the water's surface to delicate patterns left by their footprints in wet sand. Katsukawa Shunsen skillfully captures not only the physical labor involved in salt gathering but also imbues his subjects with a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. Through this print, he invites us to contemplate both human resilience and our deep connection to natural resources. This remarkable piece from Liszt Collection serves as a testament to Shunsen's artistic prowess and offers viewers an opportunity for reflection on timeless traditions that have shaped cultures throughout history.
