EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to ancient Japan, where two masks take center stage. The first mask portrays a fearsome demon (oni), its menacing features frozen in time. Its sharp fangs and piercing eyes are enough to send shivers down one's spine. In stark contrast, the second mask depicts the serene face of the goddess Okame, her gentle smile radiating warmth and tranquility. Both masks lie still on a surface, with only Okame's visage fully visible while the demon mask remains partially hidden. A single poem is discernible, capturing the essence of these enigmatic creations. Unfortunately, part of another poem has been cut off, leaving us longing for its complete message. Created by renowned artist Katsushika Hokusai during Japan's Edo period between 1800 and 1810, this paper print showcases his mastery of colour woodcut technique. With meticulous attention to detail and vibrant hues that bring life to each stroke, Hokusai invites viewers into a realm where mythical beings coexist with human emotions. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we can't help but contemplate the duality it represents - light versus darkness; beauty alongside fear; harmony amidst chaos. These two masks serve as symbolic gateways into an intricate world of Japanese folklore and artistic expression that continues to captivate audiences today.
