The Hobby Horse, c. 1767/68
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print created by Suzuki Harunobu during the Edo period in Japan. This exquisite artwork showcases the beauty of traditional Japanese culture and provides a glimpse into the lives of its people. In this charming scene, we see a mother and her child strolling along a road adorned with vibrant greenery. The woman, dressed in an elegant kimono, gracefully holds a parasol to shield herself from the sun's rays. Her child joyfully rides atop a hobby horse, their laughter echoing through the air. Harunobu's masterful use of color brings this print to life - from the rich brown hues of the wooden toy to the vivid greens that surround them. The intricate details and delicate lines characteristic of woodblock printing further enhance its artistic appeal. This artwork not only captures a moment in time but also reflects upon themes such as family bonds and childhood innocence. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when mothers would take leisurely walks with their children, cherishing every precious moment together. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, "The Hobby Horse" stands as an important piece within Asian art history. Its preservation allows us to appreciate Suzuki Harunobu's contribution to ukiyo-e (pictures of floating world) genre and his ability to immortalize moments that transcend time and cultural boundaries.
