EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Waterless Shell Minasegai" takes us on a journey through time and culture. The image showcases a beautiful comparison between Genroku poems and shells, inviting us to explore the intricate connection between art forms. In the foreground, we see frogs perched on stones within a cage, an intriguing representation of the title of this print. These amphibians defy their natural habitat by sitting on solid ground instead of water, symbolizing the unexpected and challenging aspects of life. Behind them stands an exquisite folding screen adorned with an image of a man on horseback accompanied by his loyal servants. This scene depicts General Minamoto no Yoshiie at the Ide river, evoking tales of bravery and adventure from ancient Japan. Adding another layer to this composition are three books resting gracefully on the floor. These volumes allude to a collection of 15th-century poems, hinting at the rich literary tradition that inspired this artwork. Created in 1821 by renowned artist Katsushika Hokusai, this color woodcut transports us back in time while showcasing his exceptional talent for capturing intricate details with precision. The Liszt Collection presents this remarkable piece as part of its diverse catalog celebrating art from around the world.
