EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fukurokuju, from the series 'The Seven Gods of Good Luck in the Floating World (Ukiyo Shichi Fukujin)', c. 1769" by Suzuki Harunobu takes us back to 18th century Japan. The artwork, housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, IL, USA, showcases the artist's mastery of colour woodblock printing. In this piece, we see Fukurokuju, one of the seven gods believed to bring good fortune and longevity in Japanese folklore. He is depicted with his characteristic elongated head and white beard, exuding an air of wisdom and serenity. Standing beneath a majestic tree adorned with vibrant foliage, he seems deeply connected to nature. Adding another layer to this composition is a woman playing the shamisen – a traditional three-stringed instrument often associated with geisha culture. Her presence not only enhances the visual appeal but also brings alive the soundscape of ancient Japan. Suzuki Harunobu's attention to detail shines through in every aspect of this print. From delicate calligraphy adorning the top right corner to intricate patterns on both characters' garments – no element goes unnoticed. The use of vivid colors further elevates this artwork's charm and allure. Each hue carefully chosen adds depth and richness to every stroke on paper. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from centuries ago, we are transported into a world where gods walk among mortals and art becomes a portal for cultural exploration. It serves as a reminder that even though time may pass and societies evolve, there will always be beauty in preserving history through artistic expression. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this moment in time for all art enthusiasts to appreciate and cherish forevermore.
