Harunobu Suzuki Woodblock Woman in a Palanquin

Item Details

Description

Artist: Harunobu Suzuki

Title: Woman in a Palanquin

Publisher: Hasegawa

Date: 1910s

Medium: Japanese woodblock print

Size: chuban, 7.5 x 10

Provenance: from the Robert O. Muller estate.

SUZUKI HARUNOBU's (1725-1770) work suggests a strong influence from Okumura Masanobu, a ukiyo-e artist and publisher in Edo, and Nishikawa Sukenobu, an ukiyo-e painter in Kyoto. During the Meiwa era (1764-1772), a popular custom in Edo was exchanging picture calendars (egoyomi). These calendars, into which producers put a great deal of creative ingenuity, vied with one another in both design and the richness of their colors, and as a result the techniques of color printing made quantum leaps forward.

Just 20 or so years previously, the invention of so-called benizuri-e had made it possible to print ukiyo-e in three or four colors, but already it was becoming possible to print about ten different colors on a single sheet of paper. It was Harunobu who first applied this new technique to ukiyo-e prints. Such prints were called nishiki-e (brocade pictures) since their beauty was likened to that of elaborate nishiki brocade textiles. These early nishiki-e of Harunobu were the origin of the multicolored ukiyo-e with which we are most likely to be familiar today. The year of their origin can be traced, quite precisely, to 1765. Harunobu produced in his lifetime some 700 nishiki-e, many of them portraits, very popular among the urban population, of delicate, doll-like beautiful women.
