EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "DAcke hyakumanben, A comic Buddhist rosary procession" created by the renowned artist Kawanabe Gyosai in 1864, we are transported to a vibrant and whimsical scene. The artwork consists of three panels, each showcasing a different aspect of the procession. On the left panel, measuring 37.7 x 25.7 cm, we witness an array of colorful figures marching forward with great enthusiasm. They hold onto a massive rosary that serves as the focal point of their spiritual journey. The center panel, slightly smaller at 35.2 x 24.1 cm, reveals more intricacies within this lively parade; individuals from various walks of life come together to partake in this unique celebration. The right panel measures 35.3 x 24.5 cm and introduces an unexpected twist to the narrative - a colossal octopus! This mystical creature adds an element of surprise and intrigue to the already fantastical atmosphere surrounding the procession. Kawanabe Gyosai's masterful use of color brings vibrancy and liveliness to every figure depicted in this print. Through his artistic vision, he manages to capture both reverence for Buddhist traditions and a sense of playfulness that is characteristic of comic art. This remarkable piece from Liszt Collection not only showcases Gyosai's exceptional talent but also invites viewers into a world where spirituality intertwines with humor and imagination – truly a testament to his skill as an artist.
