EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Ise monogatari, Tale of Ise" created by the talented artist Hosoda Eishi between 1789 and 1795, we are transported to a scene filled with intrigue and mystery. The print measures 35.4 x 25 cm and showcases three women, each exuding an air of elegance. Two of the women are seated gracefully on the floor while another stands beside them, her gaze fixed upon a small box being offered by a person sitting nearby. The contents of this box remain unknown to us but seem to hold great significance as all eyes are drawn towards it. Delicate articles of clothing lay in front of one of the seated women, suggesting that they may be preparing for an important event or perhaps engaging in a ritualistic ceremony. The composition is rich in color, highlighting the intricate details and patterns adorning their garments. It is believed that this artwork represents a scene from one of the tales found within "Ise monogatari". This collection of stories holds deep cultural importance in Japan and explores themes such as love, nature, and human emotions. Hosoda Eishi's masterful craftsmanship shines through in this print, capturing not only the physical beauty but also evoking curiosity about the narrative unfolding before our eyes. Quint Lox has expertly curated this piece from Liszt Collection for us to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
