EDITORS COMMENTS
The Autumn Moon in the Mirror" (Kyodai no shugetsu) is a captivating woodblock print from Suzuki Harunobu's series "Eight Views of the Parlor" (Zashiki hakkei), created around 1766. This exquisite work of art transports us to the heart of 18th-century Japan, showcasing the elegance and refinement of the country's artistic and cultural heritage. The print depicts two young women, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, standing before a looking glass. The reflection in the mirror captures the image of the moon, bathed in the soft glow of autumn, surrounded by the vibrant colors of the season. The first woman, dressed in an olive-green kimono, gazes intently at her reflection, while the second, attired in a pink kimono, looks on, her expression thoughtful. Harunobu masterfully employs the chuban format, a horizontal format popular during the Edo period, to capture the intimate scene. The print is a testament to the artist's skillful use of color woodblock printing, with the rich hues of green, pink, and olive-green creating a stunning contrast against the black background. The print also reflects the scientific and astronomical interests of the time, as the moon is depicted in an accurate representation, reflecting the influence of the solar system on Japanese art and culture. The traditional Japanese dress, hairstyles, and household items further add to the authenticity and historical significance of the work. This beautiful print is a treasure of the Asian art world, showcasing the intricacies of Japanese art, fashion, and culture during the 18th century. It invites us to explore the world of the past, and to appreciate the beauty and elegance of a bygone era.
