EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "A Woman Turns to a Man Famous Places Products Yamashiro Province" transports us back to Japan in the early 19th century. This exquisite artwork, part of the series "Yamashiro Meisho Meibutsu" captures a poignant moment between a woman and a man. The man, possibly a seller of love letters known as kesobumi, conceals his face due to societal stigma surrounding his profession. In contrast, the woman exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. Clad in a kimono specially designed to cover her face like a veil, she adds an element of mystery to the scene. Her gaze is fixed upon the man who holds out a fan for her inspection while clutching what appears to be an important letter. Both poems adorning this print allude to love letters sold at the beginning of each new year. These heartfelt messages were cherished tokens exchanged by lovers during that time. The artist Keisai Eisen masterfully captures not only their physical beauty but also evokes emotions associated with longing and connection. This remarkable piece from c. 1810-1820 showcases delicate paper and vibrant colors through woodcut techniques—a testament to Japanese artistry during this period. As we admire this image from Liszt Collection, let us appreciate its historical significance and ponder upon the timeless theme of love conveyed through written words.
