EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a mesmerizing arrangement of purple shell freshwater clams and a turban shell Murasakigai shijimi sazae. The series, titled "Kaitsukushi" beautifully captures the essence of these molluscs, including various shells and snail shells. Created by Totoya Hokkei in Japan back in 1821, this paper color woodcut measures approximately 205 mm in height and 178 mm in width. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to each element within the composition. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the large turban shovel (sazae), gracefully surrounded by three freshwater clams along with smaller shells scattered around it. This harmonious arrangement creates a visually stunning display that captivates viewers' attention. Accompanying this exquisite artwork are two poems that add an additional layer of depth to the piece. These verses further enhance our appreciation for nature's beauty while inviting contemplation on its delicate balance.
