EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Repairing Ushiwakamaru's High Clogs" artist Utagawa Toyohiro takes us back to ancient Japan. The scene depicts a skilled cobbler diligently working on the footwear of the young warrior, Ushiwakamaru. With vibrant colors and intricate details, the print showcases the artistry of Toyohiro as he captures a moment of everyday life in feudal Japan. The cobbler's focused expression reveals his dedication to his craft, while Ushiwakamaru patiently waits for his high clogs (takageta) to be repaired. The significance of this scene lies in its symbolic representation. In Japanese culture, footwear holds great importance as it reflects one's social status and identity. By repairing Ushiwakamaru's high clogs, the cobbler not only mends physical damage but also restores honor and dignity to the young warrior. This print serves as a reminder that even warriors need assistance from skilled craftsmen like cobblers. It highlights the interdependence between different members of society and emphasizes the value placed on craftsmanship during that era. Quint Lox beautifully encapsulates this historical moment through their lens, capturing both the artistic excellence of Toyohiro's work and its cultural significance within Japanese society. This print from Liszt Collection transports viewers into an enchanting world where tradition meets artistry, leaving us captivated by its beauty and storytelling prowess.
