EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print from the Edo period, titled "Woman Sweeping up Love Letters" transports us to a bygone era in Japan. Created by Suzuki Harunobu, a renowned Japanese artist of the 18th century, this image beautifully captures the essence of traditional Japanese art. In this scene, we see a stunning woman delicately holding a broom as she looks back over her shoulder. Her graceful posture and serene expression suggest an air of mystery and intrigue. The baskets full of love letters that she carries are borne by an ox nearby, adding to the enchanting atmosphere. Harunobu's composition alludes to a popular Chinese legend from the Tang Dynasty involving Kanzan and Hanshan, two legendary figures known for their wisdom and enlightenment. This reference adds depth to the artwork and invites viewers to contemplate its deeper meaning. The intricate details rendered through ink and color on paper showcase Harunobu's mastery in woodblock printing techniques. The size of this print measures approximately 11 1/8 x 8 1/2 inches (28.3 x 21.6 cm), making it a precious artifact from Japan's artistic heritage. As we admire this exquisite piece from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to experience the elegance and beauty of Japan during the Edo period. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to capturing human emotions and timeless stories across different cultures throughout
