EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu captures the essence of 18th-century Japanese art. Titled "Girl Riding a Crane (parody of Hi Chobo [Chinese: Fei Zhangfang]), c. 1766/67" it showcases the artist's mastery in ukiyo-e, a popular genre during the Edo period. In this satirical piece, a young woman is depicted riding atop a majestic crane, symbolizing grace and freedom. Dressed in an exquisite kimono adorned with intricate patterns, she stands out against the soft grey background. The delicate lines and rich colors bring life to her flowing robes and elaborate headdress. Harunobu's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork - from the feathers on the crane's wings to the script adorning its body. The parody element adds an amusing touch as it references Chinese culture through Hi Chobo (Fei Zhangfang), creating a playful commentary on societal norms and expectations. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this woodblock print exemplifies both artistic skill and cultural significance. It serves as a testament to Japan's heritage art forms while showcasing Harunobu's unique style within Asian artistic schools. As we admire this image, we are transported back in time to experience the beauty of traditional dress, block printing techniques, and storytelling through visual art. Suzuki Harunobu invites us into his world where fantasy meets reality - where one can ride upon cranes
