EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports viewers to the province of Mikawa, where a famous zigzag bridge takes center stage. The bridge, known as Mikawa no yatsuhashi, is renowned for its unique design and attracts travelers from far and wide. In this stunning image, we see visitors leisurely strolling along the zigzagging path of the bridge, their eyes drawn to the vibrant irises blooming in the nearby swamp. The combination of man-made structure and natural beauty creates a harmonious scene that captures both human ingenuity and nature's splendor. Adding depth to the composition is a majestic pine tree standing tall near a Buddhist monument in the foreground. Its presence symbolizes longevity and spirituality, further enhancing the tranquility of this picturesque landscape. The artwork itself is an exquisite colour woodcut created by Katsushika Hokusai between 1830-1834. Hokusai was a masterful artist known for his exceptional attention to detail and ability to capture Japan's landscapes with unparalleled precision. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to experience not only the physical beauty of Mikawa's zigzag bridge but also its historical significance within Japanese culture. It serves as a reminder of our connection with nature and our capacity for artistic expression that transcends time.
