EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported to Japan in the early 19th century. The scene depicts a senior courtesan, known as an oiran, engaging in the delicate art of calligraphy. With a fan held gracefully in her hand, she is about to inscribe it with three exquisite poems. Surrounded by her devoted servant, the oiran's presence exudes elegance and refinement. Her every movement seems choreographed with precision and grace. As she dips her brush into ink and delicately touches it to paper, one can almost feel the weight of history and tradition behind each stroke. The artist attributed to this work is Eisen from the renowned school of hetaera. Their skillful use of color woodcut brings life and vibrancy to this intimate moment captured on paper. This print offers us a glimpse into a world that existed centuries ago - a world where poetry was revered and calligraphy was considered an art form in its own right. It reminds us of the beauty that can be found in simplicity and invites us to appreciate both the written word and visual expression. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded that true art transcends time and place; it speaks directly to our souls regardless of language or culture.
