Throwing the Shuttle, c. 1766/67 - A Glimpse into Edo Period Textile Work
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Suzuki Harunobu takes us back to the vibrant world of 18th-century Japan. Titled "Throwing the Shuttle" it offers a glimpse into the intricate craft of textile weaving during the Edo period. In this woodblock print, we see two young women dressed in traditional kimonos diligently working at a loom. Their delicate movements and focused expressions reveal their expertise as they skillfully throw the shuttle across the warp threads, creating beautiful patterns with each pass. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork. The vivid green color palette dominates, symbolizing growth and renewal, while hints of pink and rose add a touch of femininity to their attire. The chuban format allows for an intimate portrayal that highlights both their individuality and shared purpose. Harunobu's mastery lies not only in capturing these women engaged in their profession but also in portraying them as individuals with unique stories and aspirations. Through his artistry, he immortalizes these unsung heroes who played a vital role in preserving Japan's rich textile heritage. As we admire this exquisite piece from Suzuki Harunobu, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also recognize the significance of traditional crafts like weaving that have shaped cultures throughout history.
