EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a rare print titled "Playing cards with 100 poets and poems" that was sold at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1867. Created by the Japanese School in the 19th century, this pen and ink masterpiece is now part of a private collection. The image depicts a mesmerizing scene where female poetesses and male poets are gathered together, engrossed in an intense game of cards. Each individual is seated gracefully, their focused expressions hinting at the competitive spirit within. The intricate calligraphy on each card adds an element of elegance to the composition. Notably, all text on these playing cards is upside down, adding an intriguing twist to this artistic creation. It invites viewers to delve deeper into its hidden meanings and explore the profound world of poetry intertwined with gaming. The subjects' traditional attire, including kimonos adorned with delicate patterns, reflects their Japanese heritage while also symbolizing cultural exchange during international exhibitions like the one held in Paris. This remarkable piece captures not only a moment frozen in time but also celebrates the beauty of handwritten verse as well as diverse poetic voices from different eras. Its historical significance lies not just within its artistic value but also as a testament to cross-cultural connections fostered through global events such as world fairs.
