EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Ignorant Seekers Series Title Object Two Korean Boys" we are transported to a scene filled with intrigue and cultural symbolism. The image showcases two young Korean boys sitting in front of a magnificent white elephant, all aboard a boat. The series title on the object hints at their ignorance, perhaps referring to their innocence or lack of knowledge about the world. The presence of Sojo, possibly a king from western China, adds an air of mystery as his identity remains undisclosed within the print. However, it is not depicted visually, leaving room for interpretation and imagination. Accompanying this striking visual are two poems that further enhance the narrative. These verses explore the theme of trunked animals like elephants, drawing connections between different cultures and highlighting their significance. Created by Totoya Hokkei in Japan around 1821 using paper and color woodcut techniques, this artwork exemplifies exquisite craftsmanship. It measures 197 mm in height and 176 mm in width. This print from the Liszt Collection invites us to delve into its rich layers of meaning while appreciating its artistic beauty. Its historical context and cross-cultural references make it an intriguing piece that sparks curiosity and contemplation among viewers worldwide.
