EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the serene and mystical world of Chikubushima island. The view showcases a rocky island adorned with an enchanting entrance gate, known as torii, leading up to the revered Benten shrine dedicated to the goddess herself. Chikubushima is nestled in the northern part of Lake Biwa, within the picturesque ômi province of Japan. Its natural beauty is enhanced by two poignant poems that accompany this artwork. Created by Totoya Hokkei in 1821, this paper-based colour woodcut measures 208 mm in height and 182 mm in width. The image captures a sense of tranquility and reverence as visitors ascend the stairs towards the sacred shrine. The rocky terrain adds an element of ruggedness and mystique to this spiritual haven. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported into a realm where nature intertwines seamlessly with spirituality. It invites us to contemplate our connection with divinity while being surrounded by awe-inspiring landscapes. Let this photograph serve as a reminder that there are places on Earth where ancient traditions thrive alongside breathtaking scenery, offering solace and inspiration for all who seek it - even if only through art's lens.
