EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bridle district Kutsuwamachi" takes us back to the vibrant streets of Edo-era Japan in 1822. The image showcases a partially unrolled hand roll adorned with a mesmerizing colour woodcut by the renowned artist Katsushika Hokusai. In the foreground, two members of the samurai class stand tall, their stoic presence contrasting against the lively backdrop of Yoshiwara, the famous pleasure district. This bustling entrance served as a gateway to an enchanting world filled with entertainment and indulgence. Behind this exquisite hand roll lies a guide for Yoshiwara, known as Yoshiwara saiken. It not only provided practical information but also added an element of intrigue to those who sought adventure within its walls. Accompanying this visual feast are two poems that further enhance the artistic depth and emotional resonance captured within this piece. The delicate craftsmanship and attention to detail showcased in this paper print transport viewers into a bygone era where tradition meets opulence. As we gaze upon it, we can almost hear the clatter of hooves from horses depicted in other prints from Hokusai's series titled "Umazukushi". This remarkable artwork from Liszt Collection serves as both a historical artifact and an aesthetic masterpiece, allowing us to appreciate Japan's rich cultural heritage through one man's creative vision.
