EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by Suzuki Harunobu around 1762, transports us back to the enchanting world of Edo-period Japan. The scene depicts a woman elegantly dressed in traditional clothing, her vibrant kimono adorned with intricate patterns and colors that reflect the artistic brilliance of the time. As she gracefully descends a set of steps leading to an engawa (a veranda-like structure), lanterns softly illuminate her path through the night. Harunobu's masterful use of ink and color on paper brings this moment to life, capturing not only the physical beauty but also the essence of Japanese heritage art. The attention to detail is remarkable - from the delicate patten shoes she wears, known as geta or platform shoes, to every fold in her dress that cascades down with grace. The setting itself exudes tranquility and serenity; it is a glimpse into a bygone era where tradition meets modernity. The buildings surrounding our protagonist stand tall against the night sky, their architectural elegance serving as a testament to centuries-old craftsmanship. As we admire this polychrome woodblock print at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported into an ukiyo-e world where time seems suspended. Suzuki Harunobu's work continues to captivate audiences today with its ability to evoke emotions and transport us across centuries into Japan's rich cultural tapestry.
