1825 1829 Bamboo Colour Woodcut Keisai Eisen Piece Pilgrim Pilgrimage Pipe Two Poems Two Women Mentioned Under Way

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported to Japan in the early 19th century. The image portrays two women, their pilgrimage journey captured in a single frame. Dressed in traditional garments, they exude grace and tranquility as they make their way towards a sacred temple. As the women return from their temple visit, our attention is drawn to the judge standing beside them. Holding a piece of bamboo and pipe, he symbolizes wisdom and authority. On the left side of the composition, a woman dons an elegant large hat while clutching onto a sturdy bamboo stick for support. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident not only in capturing these figures but also through his inclusion of two poems that accompany this woodcut masterpiece. These verses speak of pilgrims embarking on spiritual journeys and hint at profound introspection experienced along the way. Keisai Eisen's name is mentioned on this object, indicating his authorship of this remarkable artwork. Created between 1825-1829 using paper and color woodcut techniques, it showcases Eisen's mastery in depicting scenes from everyday life with vibrant hues and delicate lines. This photograph print serves as a window into Japanese culture during this period—a testament to both artistic skill and religious devotion. Its presence invites us to reflect upon our own personal pilgrimages as we embark on journeys seeking enlightenment or self-discovery.
