EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print from the "Ignorant Seekers" series titled "Shiba Shôjô" transports us to ancient Japan, where we witness a profound moment of introspection. The image showcases Shiba Shôjô, a wise and enigmatic figure who lived during 126 BC, standing pensively by the bank of a majestic waterfall. In this evocative scene captured by Totoya Hokkei in 1821 through a delicate color woodcut on paper, we are drawn into the serene beauty of nature as it intertwines with human contemplation. Shiba Shôjô is seen writing his heartfelt wish on a pole that stands tall amidst the cascading waters. It is as if he seeks solace and guidance from the powerful forces of nature surrounding him. Accompanying this poignant display are two poems that further deepen our understanding of Shiba's inner journey. These verses, carefully inscribed alongside his wish, offer glimpses into his thoughts and emotions - an intimate glimpse into his soul. This remarkable artwork from the Liszt Collection invites us to reflect upon our own quest for knowledge and enlightenment. It reminds us that even in times long past, individuals like Shiba sought answers beyond their immediate reality while finding inspiration in natural wonders. As we gaze at this mesmerizing print, let us embrace its timeless message: that wisdom can be found when one humbly acknowledges their ignorance and embarks on a path of seeking truth amid life's tumultuous
