In this woodcut print titled "Amagoi komachi, Komachi praying for rain" the renowned artist Kitagawa Utamaro masterfully depicts a poignant scene from Japanese folklore. Created between 1804 and 1806, the artwork measures 39.3 x 26.4 cm and showcases the legendary poet Ono no Komachi. The image portrays Komachi in a humble posture, her body slightly bent over as she fervently prays for rain. With delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors, Utamaro captures both the intensity of her plea and the beauty of nature surrounding her. The tranquil atmosphere is further enhanced by a child clinging to Komachi's back, symbolizing hope for future generations. Utamaro's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print - from the intricate patterns on Komachi's flowing robes to the subtle expressions on her face and that of the child. Through his artistry, he not only immortalizes an ancient tale but also evokes emotions within viewers. This particular piece belongs to Quint Lox's Liszt Collection, which houses an extensive array of historical artworks. It serves as a testament to Utamaro's skill as one of Japan's most celebrated ukiyo-e artists during the Edo period.
