EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases "Twenty-four Japanese examples of branch piety for the Honchoren" series. The image features the woodcutter Kosagi, standing gracefully beside a magnificent waterfall. His trusty gourd and chopper rest nearby, symbolizing his humble profession. The story behind this enchanting scene unfolds as we learn about Kosagi's deep devotion to his parents. Despite being a poor lumberjack, he yearned to provide them with rice wine every day. However, on one fateful day when he lacked money for sake, he ingeniously filled his gourd with water from the Yoro waterfall. In an extraordinary turn of events, the gods were moved by Kosagi's unwavering filial piety and transformed the water into sake. This act of divine intervention beautifully illustrates how caring for one's parents is rewarded in unexpected ways. Accompanying this stunning visual narrative are two poignant poems that further enhance its emotional depth. The first poem describes how Kosagi drinks from the waterfall before offering his parents a cup of spicy rice wine—a testament to his selflessness and love. The second poem highlights how even immortals are drawn to partake in this mystical experience, where mist intertwines with cascading waters and heavenly rice wine flows freely. Created between 1820-1825 by Yashima Gakutei, this paper-based color woodcut transports us back in time to Japan's rich cultural heritage while celebrating timeless values such as family bonds and devotion.
