Combing His Hair, 1770
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print created by Suzuki Harunobu in the 18th century. This exquisite artwork from the Edo period showcases the artist's mastery of color and composition. Set within a domestic interior in Japan, it offers us a glimpse into the daily life of its time. In this scene, we witness a young man engrossed in grooming himself while seated on an elegant tatami mat. With delicate strokes of ink and vibrant colors on paper, Harunobu brings to life every intricate detail – from the man's meticulously combed hair to his traditional attire. The presence of a woman playing the samisen (a three-stringed musical instrument) adds an element of harmony and tranquility to the composition. The soft melodies fill the room as she skillfully plucks at its strings, creating an atmosphere that resonates with both beauty and serenity. Harunobu's woodblock print captures not only physical appearances but also emotions and cultural nuances prevalent during that era. It serves as a testament to his artistic prowess and contribution to ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world". Today, this remarkable piece is housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), where it continues to inspire viewers with its timeless allure. As we gaze upon "Combing His Hair" we are transported back in time – immersed in an intimate moment frozen forever through Suzuki Harunobu's vision and craftsmanship.
