EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Tai no yume Ebisu no soroban, The red snappers dream: Ebisu using an abacus" artist Utagawa Toyohiro takes us on a whimsical journey into the realm of dreams. The artwork, created in 1805, measures 34.6 x 24 cm and showcases the vibrant colors characteristic of traditional Japanese prints. At the center of the composition lies a basket containing a majestic red snapper, symbolizing good fortune and abundance in Japanese culture. As we peer into its dream world, we witness an enchanting scene unfold - one that merges mythology with everyday life. Ebisu, one of Japan's seven lucky gods known for his association with commerce and prosperity, appears before our eyes. With utmost concentration and precision, he employs an abacus to calculate numbers unseen by mortal eyes. This portrayal highlights both the practicality and spiritual significance attributed to this ancient calculating tool. The juxtaposition of the mythical deity engaging in such mundane activity invites contemplation about the interconnectedness between divine intervention and human endeavors. It reminds us that even within our most ordinary tasks lie opportunities for extraordinary outcomes. Through Toyohiro's masterful craftsmanship and attention to detail, "Tai no yume Ebisu no soroban" transports us beyond reality into a realm where dreams intertwine with tradition. Quint Lox's interpretation adds another layer to this evocative piece from Liszt Collection – inviting viewers to explore their own aspirations while
