Pleasure Girl Riding an Ox. [Folding cardboard with art print of Japanese woodbl
Leaflet slightly bumped at the lower edge in the fold, art print very good. Text in Japanese and English. - Hashirae - (Important Art Object) In the Zen ink painting of China and Japan, the theme of The Sage Riding an Ox symbolizes satori, the moment of enlightenment. Harunobus parody of this classical theme depicts the ox in strongly contrasting black and white, and with hoofs suggestive of the human male foot. Perched on this symbol of masculinity is a fragile-appearing courtesan robed in sensuously colorful garments. An air of refinement is maintained by the use of a pale grey ground and classical Japanese cloud conventions, all encouraging the viewers imagination to roam between the ancient and the contemporary, and between the realms of the spirit and the flesh.
