EDITORS COMMENTS
The Evening Mistress at Ueno" is a captivating color woodblock print from the series "Eight Fashionable Views of Edo" created by the renowned Japanese artist Suzuki Harunobu in the late 18th century. This exquisite work of art showcases a sensual scene of a couple, the evening mistress (Ueno no bansho) and her lover, in a serene setting of Ueno, a popular geographical feature in Edo, Japan. The print is characterized by its vibrant use of color, predominantly olive green, which adds to the overall allure and mood of the scene. The woman, dressed in a traditional Japanese kimono adorned with lilies, sits on a tatami mat floor, her expression one of contentment as she gazes at her lover, who stands before her, also dressed in traditional clothing. The setting sun casts an ethereal glow over the scene, with the reflection of the evening mist on the still waters of the lake adding to the tranquility of the moment. Harunobu's masterful use of chuban yoko-e, a horizontal format for block printing, allows for a detailed and expansive depiction of the scene, drawing the viewer into the intimate moment between the couple. The print is a testament to the artistic school of shunga, which focused on erotic themes, and the appreciation for the beauty of the human form and the natural world. This stunning piece of heritage art is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, particularly 18th-century Japanese art and apparel. It can be found in various art centers, galleries, and institutes, including the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and sensuality.
