EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to Japan's Edo period, specifically the 1790s. The artwork showcases a fan vendor, a common sight in bustling Edo during that time. The polychrome woodblock print is meticulously crafted with ink and vibrant colors on delicate paper, measuring approximately 14 7/8 by 9 3/8 inches. The artist behind this masterpiece is Kitagawa Utamaro, a renowned Japanese printmaker who lived from 1753 to 1806. Utamaro skillfully captures the essence of Edo's street life through his depiction of vendors like this fan seller. These reputedly fashionable and handsome boys were known for attracting girls' attention with their charm and charisma. In this particular scene, we see the vendor showing off one of his exquisite fans painted with the face of Zen master Daruma. Standing beside him is a beautiful young woman captivated by both his wares and his presence. The composition exudes an air of elegance and intrigue as it encapsulates a moment frozen in time. Artokoloro has expertly preserved this historical gem, allowing us to appreciate its beauty centuries later. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported to an era long gone but forever immortalized through artistry and craftsmanship.
