EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of leisure and contemplation in Japanese culture. The image showcases a traditional playing card illustrating the proverb "out of sight, out of mind". In this scene, a maiden stands on a bridge, gently releasing a fish into the water below. The delicate lithograph was created by the Japanese School in 1893 and is now part of a private collection. The artwork beautifully depicts the concept that when something or someone is no longer visible, they are easily forgotten. The serene expression on the maiden's face suggests her understanding of this profound wisdom as she lets go of the fish. The intricate calligraphy surrounding her adds to the overall aesthetic appeal. This piece offers an intriguing glimpse into Japan's rich history and its fascination with games and entertainment. It reminds us that even in moments of relaxation, there can be deeper meaning embedded within cultural traditions. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable, showcasing both artistic skill and storytelling prowess. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported to another time and place where reflection meets amusement – all through one simple act captured forever on paper.
