EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print by Suzuki Harunobu, titled "Musume o seotte kawa o wataru hotei" or "Hotei carrying a young girl piggyback" we are transported to a serene riverside scene. The artwork, created between 1767 and 1769, measures 28.2 x 20.2 cm and showcases the artist's mastery of color and composition. At the center of the print stands Hotei, one of the seven lucky Buddhist gods, known for his jolly appearance and benevolent nature. With a warm smile on his face, Hotei carries a young woman across the river on his back. This act symbolizes protection and support in Japanese culture. A child attendant can be seen following closely behind Hotei, dutifully carrying his bag. The attention to detail in this piece is remarkable; every brushstroke brings life to each character and element within the scene. Harunobu's use of vibrant colors adds depth and richness to the print, enhancing its overall beauty. The delicate balance between light pastel tones and bold hues creates an ethereal atmosphere that draws viewers into this enchanting world. This exquisite artwork from the Liszt Collection captures a moment of tranquility and harmony as Hotei carries the young girl across the flowing river with grace and ease—a testament to both Suzuki Harunobu's artistic talent and Japan's rich cultural heritage.
