EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical print by Suzuki Harunobu captures a delightful parody of the legendary love story between Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei. Created in the Edo period around 1767, this artwork showcases the artist's mastery of block printing techniques. In this scene, two lovers are depicted sitting side by side, playing the same shamisen, a traditional Japanese musical instrument. Dressed in exquisite kimonos adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, they embody elegance and grace. The male figure represents Emperor Ming of Tang (Xuanzong), while his female counterpart embodies Yang Guifei. The composition is filled with symbolism and satire as it playfully mocks historical events. Through his satirical lens, Harunobu invites us to reflect on themes of love, power dynamics, and societal norms prevalent during that era. The use of bold green hues adds an element of freshness to the image while contrasting beautifully with the soft pinks and roses present in their clothing. This color palette enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the artwork. Displayed at The Art Institute Chicago's Asian art gallery, this piece exemplifies Harunobu's artistic skill within Japan's illustrious artistic school. It serves as a testament to Asia's rich cultural heritage while inviting viewers to appreciate its beauty through a contemporary lens.
