EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu, titled "Snow, ca. 1769" transports us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century Japan. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this scene, from the vibrant colors and intricate patterns of the kimonos worn by both men and women to the delicate ink strokes that bring the falling snowflakes to life.

A young girl gracefully walks alongside her servant, their geta (traditional wooden platform shoes) leaving imprints on the pristine white ground. The woman carries an umbrella adorned with beautiful motifs, shielding herself from the gentle flurry above.
