EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print from the Edo period transports us back to 18th century Japan. Created by Suzuki Harunobu, a renowned Japanese artist of that era, it beautifully depicts a young woman engrossed in writing a love letter. Seated gracefully on the floor, she delicately holds her brush and ink as she carefully crafts her heartfelt message. The scene is set within an intimate room adorned with sliding screens featuring intricate paintings. As we observe this enchanting artwork, we can't help but notice the hidden narrative unfolding before our eyes. The girl's attempt to hide her actions suggests that an unexpected visitor has entered the room, adding an element of suspense and intrigue. Harunobu skillfully alludes to classical episodes from ancient Chinese history through his elaborate portrayal of letter writing. This theme was highly regarded during the Edo period as it symbolized deep emotions and secret desires. Measuring approximately 11 1/2 inches by 8 1/4 inches (29.2 cm by 21 cm), this print showcases Harunobu's mastery in capturing delicate details using vibrant colors on paper. As we admire this exquisite piece of art from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness a fleeting moment frozen forever in ink and color - a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan's Edo period.
