Physical Description

This print illustrates a scene in a jôruri play based on history. Ishidômaru is the childhood name of a figure better known to history as Kûkai, the early 9th-century founder of the Shingon sect of Buddhism in Japan. In this scene, the child Ishidômaru has come to the remote mountain of Mt. Kôya in search of his father, a warrior who had taken the tonsure. When the two finally met, the father refused to recognize his son. The rejection of family ties was one of the basic tenets of monastic life in Buddhism.

Kronborg

Artist

Luigi Kasimir

Physical Description

Horizontal format etching of a Kronborg city square settled on the edge of a body of water. In the foreground are the roofs and upper levels of buildings, suggesting that the view is looking down on the square from a high-up window. The buildings are drawn with great detail, all the carvings in the stone of the foreground are pronounced, and the buildings further in the distance have their detailed work and brick patterns clearly visible. In the small area of the street square is a group of figures holding long objects, possibly for the purpose of playing a game of some sort. The sky above the buildings and sea is dark, grey and cloudy, whose color is reflected on the water. In the far distance another hilly shoreline is visible.
