First Love (Hatsu koi), a Parody of the Well-Curb Episode of the 'Tales of Ise' - A Glimpse into Edo Period Romance

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This 18th-century woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu, titled "First Love (Hatsu koi)" takes us on a nostalgic journey back to the enchanting world of Edo period Japan. Set against a backdrop of serene beige and yellow hues, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of young love and poetic storytelling. Intricately detailed, we see a couple dressed in traditional garments from that era, their vibrant kimono adding splashes of color to the scene. The young man gazes affectionately at his lover as they stand near a water well, symbolizing purity and renewal. Their connection is palpable; it's as if time stands still for them alone. Harunobu skillfully combines artistry with literature in this piece, referencing the famous episode from "Tales of Ise" an ancient Japanese collection of waka poetry. Through his woodcut printing technique, he brings these characters to life with delicate lines and subtle shading. As we admire this masterpiece at the Art Institute Chicago's Asian Arts gallery, we are transported to another time and place – immersing ourselves in both visual beauty and cultural heritage. This print serves as a testament to Harunobu's mastery in capturing human emotions through art while preserving important aspects of Japanese history. "First
