EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu, titled "The Bride Riding in the Palanquin to Her Husband's House (Koshi-iri)" transports us back to 18th century Japan during the Edo period. Part of his series "Marriage in Brocade Prints, the Carriage of the Virtuous Woman" this particular image is both visually stunning and culturally significant. In this scene, we witness a momentous occasion as a bride is carried on shoulders inside an ornate palanquin. The intricate details of her bridal attire are beautifully depicted with delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors. The black background adds depth and contrast, allowing the viewer's focus to be solely on the bride herself. Surrounded by a group of men who accompany her on this journey, we can sense their pride and honor in fulfilling their roles. As they walk along a road lined with trees, one cannot help but imagine the anticipation and excitement that fills the air. Harunobu masterfully captures not only the physical beauty of his subjects but also conveys deeper emotions through their expressions and body language. This woodblock print serves as a testament to his skill as an artist and provides us with a glimpse into Japanese customs and traditions during this time period. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this artwork stands as a reminder of our rich artistic heritage from Asia. It invites viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic qualities but also encourages exploration into different cultures and historical periods through art.
