EDITORS COMMENTS
Evening Glow of a Lamp" (Andon no sekisho) is a captivating woodblock print from the series "Eight Views of the Parlor" (Zashiki hakkei) created by the renowned Japanese artist Suzuki Harunobu around 1766. This beautiful work of art showcases the serene and intimate atmosphere of a traditional Japanese parlor in the evening hours. The image features two women in elegant kimonos, sitting on tatami mats, preparing for the night. The room is illuminated by the soft, warm glow of a paper lantern, casting a gentle light on the women and their surroundings. The black color of their clothing contrasts beautifully with the rich, warm tones of the lamp and the paper, creating a stunning visual effect. Harunobu's masterful use of color woodblock printing is evident in the intricate details of the women's clothing, the textures of the tatami mats, and the delicate patterns of the paper lantern. The artist's attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the moment make this print a true masterpiece of the Ukiyo-e artistic school. The "Eight Views of the Parlor" series was a popular subject matter in Japanese art during the 18th century, and this print is an excellent representation of the domestic life and fashion of the time. The image invites the viewer to step into the world of traditional Japanese culture, and to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of the everyday. This stunning work of art is now part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, and is a testament to the enduring legacy of Suzuki Harunobu and the artistic traditions of Japan.
