EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Young Woman Holding a Kerria Branch (parody of Ota Dokan)", Suzuki Harunobu takes us on a whimsical journey through Japanese folklore and humor. The young woman, beautifully portrayed with delicate features, holds a kerria branch in her hand, symbolizing the fleeting nature of life and the transience of beauty. Harunobu's parody of Ota Dokan, a renowned historical figure from Japan's past, adds an intriguing narrative to the artwork. Through his clever reinterpretation, he invites us to question societal norms and expectations placed upon women during that era. The vibrant colors used in this woodblock print bring the scene to life, showcasing Harunobu's mastery as an artist. The intricate details and graceful lines capture our attention and draw us into this enchanting world. As we gaze at this piece from the Clarence Buckingham Collection at The Art Institute of Chicago, we are transported back in time to ancient Japan. We can almost hear the whispers of tales from Ise echoing through the air as we immerse ourselves in its rich cultural heritage. This artwork is not just visually stunning; it also serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries. It transcends time and space while evoking emotions within us all. Harunobu's "Young Woman Holding a Kerria Branch" is truly a masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
