EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Suzuki Harunobu showcases a poem by Sojo Henjo, one of the Six Famous Poets (Rokkasen), dating back to the 9th century. Created during the Edo period in Japan, this exquisite piece combines elements of poetry, calligraphy, and woodblock printing. The image depicts a solitary man standing on a veranda of a stilt house overlooking serene waters adorned with vibrant water lilies. The delicate blue hues of the water contrast beautifully with the vivid red flowers blooming nearby. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke and carved line. Harunobu's mastery lies not only in his depiction of nature but also in capturing emotions through visual art. This portrait-like representation invites viewers to contemplate the poet's words as they immerse themselves in this tranquil scene. The use of block printing techniques adds depth and texture to the composition while emphasizing its Asian heritage. The hosoban mizu-e format further enhances its artistic appeal, making it an exceptional example from Harunobu's body of work. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this print serves as a testament to Suzuki Harunobu's contribution to ukiyo-e art and his ability to transport viewers into another time and place through his masterful craftsmanship.
