EDITORS COMMENTS
Clearing Breeze from a Fan" is a captivating woodblock print from the series "Eight Views of the Parlor" created by the renowned Japanese artist Suzuki Harunobu in the mid-18th century. The print showcases a refined female attendant, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, standing in a serene domestic setting. She holds a handheld fan in her left hand, delicately brushing away the last remnants of a cooling breeze. The fan, adorned with intricate patterns of olive green and red, adds a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The attendant wears a kimono in a muted olive green color, which complements the earthy tones of the parlor's interior. Her footwear consists of geta, traditional Japanese sandals, and a pair of carriage boots, which are a common sight in Japanese art of the time. The attendant's posture is poised and elegant, with her head slightly tilted down, suggesting a moment of quiet contemplation. The print is a prime example of the chuban format, a popular printing technique in Japan during the Edo period. Harunobu's masterful use of color woodblock printing techniques is evident in the intricate patterns and textures of the attendant's clothing and the parlor's decor. The print also showcases the artistic school's focus on the domestic, with its depiction of a tranquil scene from a Japanese household. This beautiful work of art, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the artistic ingenuity of Suzuki Harunobu. The print continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and intricate details, making it a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, fashion, and history.
