EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print from the late 19th century, we are transported to the Edo period of Japan, where we witness a serene moment between Matsuo Basho and two men enjoying tea by the roadside. The full moon shines brightly overhead, casting its ethereal glow upon the scene. Basho, known as one of Japan's greatest poets, appears as an old man with a cane, embodying both wisdom and wanderlust. As a traveler himself, he pauses his journey to engage in conversation with these men who have welcomed him into their humble gathering. Their animated discussion is accompanied by steaming cups of tea that add warmth to the chilly night air. The intricate details of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi's woodcut technique bring life to every element within this artwork. From the delicate folds of clothing to the subtle expressions on each character's face, there is a sense of tranquility and camaraderie captured in this single frame. This print belongs to "One Hundred Aspects of the Moon" a series created by Yoshitoshi between 1885-1892. Each piece explores different aspects and interpretations of the moon through various historical figures and events. As we gaze at this exquisite composition, we are reminded not only of Basho's literary contributions but also his ability to connect with people from all walks of life during his travels. It serves as an invitation for us all to pause our own journeys occasionally and embrace meaningful conversations that can enrich our souls under nature's watch
