About the Item
Unsigned
Format: chuban
Rare. There are only a few other known impressions of this print including one in the Tokyo National Museum (TNM Vol. 1, #474; trimmed). There are slight differences in the kimono of the bijin at the left, although which print is earlier is unclear. The fact that this one is unsigned suggests that it is the earliest of the two or three existing states.

Suzuki (Hozumi) Harunobu
Suzuki Harunobu (Japanese: 鈴木 春信; c. 1725 – 8 July 1770) was a Japanese designer of woodblock print art in the ukiyo-e style. He was an innovator, the first to produce full-color prints (nishiki-e) in 1765, rendering obsolete the former modes of two- and three-color prints. Harunobu used many special techniques, and depicted a wide variety of subjects, from classical poems to contemporary beauties. Like many artists of his day, Harunobu also produced a number of shunga, or erotic images. During his lifetime and shortly afterwards, many artists imitated his style. A few, such as Harushige, even boasted of their ability to forge the work of the great master. Much about Harunobu's life is unknown.
