EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Suzuki Harunobu's key block print for "The Introduction (Miai)", the first sheet from his renowned series "Marriage in Brocade Prints, the Carriage of the Virtuous Woman". Created during the Edo period in Japan around 1769, this woodblock masterpiece is a testament to Harunobu's artistic brilliance. In this scene, we witness a significant moment in Japanese culture as two families come together for an arranged marriage. The print beautifully captures the essence of tradition and elegance that surrounded these unions during that time. A group of men and women gather, with one man introducing a virtuous woman to her potential suitor. The intricate details on their clothing highlight the opulence and refinement associated with such occasions. Harunobu's mastery of woodblock printing is evident in every stroke. The delicate lines and subtle shading bring life to each figure, creating a sense of depth within the composition. Through this artwork, we are transported back to 18th-century Japan, immersing ourselves in its rich cultural heritage. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this piece serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and space. It invites us to appreciate not only Harunobu's technical skill but also his ability to capture human emotions within his prints. As we gaze upon this remarkable creation, we become witnesses to history unfolding before our eyes - an intimate glimpse into a bygone era where love was often bound by
