EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu, created during the Edo period in Japan. The artwork depicts a serene night scene where a young woman pays her respects at a shrine. Dressed in an exquisite kimono, the female figure stands gracefully on geta, traditional platform shoes. Her clothing showcases vibrant colors and intricate patterns that reflect the fashion of 18th-century Japan. With great attention to detail, Harunobu captures every fold and texture of her attire. The artist skillfully uses ink and color on paper to bring this magical moment to life. The moonlight illuminates the surroundings, casting shadows on trees and plants that surround the shrine. A hammer and nails nearby hint at ongoing maintenance or restoration work within this sacred space. This woodblock print not only highlights Japanese culture but also evokes a sense of spirituality and tranquility. It transports viewers back in time, allowing them to experience Ushi no toki mairi firsthand – visiting shrines during specific hours believed to bring good fortune or ward off curses. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their heritage art collection, this piece represents Suzuki Harunobu's mastery in ukiyo-e printing technique. Through his artistic vision, he invites us into an enchanting world where nature intertwines with human devotion - truly capturing the essence of Edo-period Japan.
