EDITORS COMMENTS
Returning Sails at Shinagawa" is a captivating color woodblock print from the series "Eight Fashionable Views of Edo" created by the renowned Japanese artist Suzuki Harunobu in the late 18th century. This stunning work of art depicts a serene scene of people and boats returning to the bustling city of Edo (now Tokyo) after a day at sea. The print showcases the picturesque Shinagawa area, with its iconic red-lacquered shoji doors and traditional Japanese houses. The doors, adorned with intricate designs, are slightly ajar, revealing a glimpse of the domestic life within. A young girl in a pink kimono, her hair styled in elegant curls, stands at the door, watching as a boat approaches the shore. The boat, with its full sails billowing in the wind, is filled with people dressed in the latest fashionable clothing of the time, adding to the vibrant and dynamic composition. Harunobu's masterful use of color and composition is evident in the way the pink of the girl's kimono contrasts with the cool blues and greens of the water and sky. The artist's attention to detail is also evident in the intricate patterns and textures of the clothing and the boats, as well as the expressive faces of the people depicted. This beautiful work of art is a testament to the artistic school of the time, which placed great emphasis on the representation of everyday life and the latest fashion trends. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 18th century. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this exquisite print in its collection, allowing visitors to appreciate the beauty and detail of Harunobu's work firsthand.
