EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported to Japan in the late 18th century. The scene depicts a mesmerizing encounter between a courtesan and a man with an umbrella, set against the backdrop of the Ibarakiya house's porch. The courtesan stands gracefully on the porch, her vibrant kimono adorned with intricate patterns that reflect her status as a hetaera. With elegance and poise, she addresses a passerby who holds an umbrella in his right hand. The contrast between their attire - her lavish garments and his more modest attire - hints at their differing social positions. Suzuki Harunobu, mentioned on the object itself, masterfully captures this fleeting moment through his skillful use of colour woodcut technique. Every detail is meticulously rendered on paper, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty of these characters but also the artistry behind this print. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, we can almost feel ourselves being transported back to ancient Japan. It serves as a reminder of both the cultural richness and societal complexities that existed during this period. This print from Liszt Collection offers us a glimpse into history while showcasing Suzuki Harunobu's artistic brilliance. Its presence evokes curiosity about life during that era and invites us to explore further into Japanese art and culture.
