EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Tako no asirai, Octopus treading" created by the talented Japanese artist Kobayashi Kiyochika in 1904, we are transported into a mesmerizing world of myth and symbolism. The artwork measures 36.9 x 24.9 cm and features a scene that is both intriguing and thought-provoking.

The vibrant colors used in this woodcut bring life to the composition, enhancing the tension between man and beast. Kobayashi Kiyochika skillfully combines elements from folklore with his own artistic vision to create a striking image that speaks volumes about power dynamics and hidden dangers lurking beneath seemingly innocent facades. Through his masterful technique, he invites viewers to contemplate themes such as deception, control, and the delicate balance between humans and nature. This particular print from the Liszt Collection showcases Kiyochika's ability to capture attention through intricate details while leaving room for interpretation.
