EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print, titled "Waves Moonlight" takes us back to the Edo period in Japan, specifically around 1768. Created by Suzuki Harunobu, a renowned Japanese artist from the 18th century, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of that era. In this scene, we see an elegant oiran standing outside her traditional house near the sea. As she turns to look through an open shoji screen, moonlight illuminates the rippling waves behind her. The artist's meticulous use of ink and color on paper brings life to every detail of this print. Seated gracefully with fans in hand, the woman is surrounded by elements that evoke a sense of tranquility and warmth. A fire burns in a hibachi nearby while a teakettle boils gently. The atmosphere is filled with poetic beauty as suggested by Minamoto Shitagō's ode: "When I gaze at these waters tonight / How bright they are! / If only it were autumn now / And not spring". The composition invites viewers into a serene world where nature and human presence harmoniously coexist. Through its delicate brushstrokes and careful attention to light and shadow, "Waves Moonlight" transports us to another time – one filled with gracefulness and artistic refinement. This remarkable piece from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection serves as a testament to Suzuki Harunobu's mastery as well as an exquisite representation of Japanese art during the Edo period
