EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ushi-no-toki mairi Woman Rain Midnight Driving" takes us back to the Edo period in 19th century Japan. The image, part of an album of woodblock prints known as surimono, showcases the exquisite artistry and storytelling prevalent during this era. In this particular scene, a woman is depicted driving through a rain-soaked landscape at midnight. The artist skillfully captures the atmosphere with delicate ink and vibrant colors on paper measuring 8 3/16 x 5 3/8 inches (20.8 x 13.7 cm). The use of contrasting shades adds depth to the composition, while every stroke seems purposeful and meticulously executed. The presence of a nail hanging from a tree branch suggests that this artwork may be invoking evil or supernatural elements often associated with Ushi-no-toki mairi rituals in Japanese folklore. These rituals were believed to summon spirits or seek protection against unfaithful lovers. Totoya Hokkei, a renowned Japanese artist active during the late Edo period, is credited for creating this remarkable piece. His attention to detail and ability to convey emotions through his work are evident here. As we admire this Artokoloro print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported into a world where nature intertwines with human desires and superstitions. It serves as a testament to both the artistic prowess of Hokkei and the rich cultural heritage of Japan's past.
