EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Suzuki Harunobu, titled "Pausing to admire Mt. Fuji (parody of Ariwara no Narihiras journey to the east)" we are transported back to 18th century Japan during the Edo period. The artwork showcases a scene of tranquility and admiration as a female rider on horseback takes a momentary pause in her journey to appreciate the majestic beauty of Mount Fuji. The artist's masterful use of block printing technique brings vibrant colors and intricate details to life. The woman is dressed in an elegant kimono, adorned with a striped headscarf and traditional headdress, reflecting the fashion trends of that era. Her horse stands gracefully beside her, both resting after their long ride through the picturesque countryside. Harunobu cleverly parodies Ariwara no Narihira's famous literary expedition with this satirical twist, infusing it with his own artistic flair. Through this artwork, he captures not only the physical landscape but also evokes a sense of contemplation and appreciation for nature's wonders. This print is part of the esteemed collection at Art Institute Chicago, showcasing Asia's rich artistic heritage. It serves as a testament to Harunobu's skill as one of Japan's renowned artists from the Tokugawa period. As we gaze upon this masterpiece today, we can't help but be reminded that even centuries ago, people found solace in pausing amidst their journeys to marvel at nature’s breathtaking beauty – just like our protagonist here admiring Mount Fuji.
