Suzuki Harunobu

Suzuki Harunobu (1724 - 1770) was a Japanese designer of woodblock print art in the ukiyo-e style.

 

He was an innovator, the first to produce full-color (nishiki-e) prints in 1765, rendering obsolete the former modes of two- and three-color prints. Harunobu used many special techniques, and depicted a wide variety of subjects, from classical poems to contemporary beauties. During his lifetime and shortly afterwards, many artists imitated his style. A few, such as Harushige, even boasted of their ability to forge the work of the great master. Much about Harunobu's life is unknown.

About A Courtesan Of The Ibarakiya Brothel Coaxing Her Client To Stay Suzuki Harunobu Japanese Woodblock Mitatee Painting
A courtesan stands on the verandah of an establishment identified as the Ibaraki-ya on the noren (split curtain) to her left. She engages a young man by holding the tip of his umbrella suggestively, her other hand is hidden within the sleeve of her kimono which she wraps around the pillar of the porch. He pauses, his body in a forward motion but he turns his head back towards the beauty. The wisp of hair that has come lose from her comb suggest that she is attempting to detain a customer with whom she has already exchanged relations.The name of the house, Ibaraki-ya, is clear reference to the legend of warrior Watanabe no Tsuna (953-1025) and his encounter with the demoness Ibaraki who was menacing innocents at the Rashomon gateway located at the southern entrance to the city of Kyoto. In the story, Watanabe no Tsuna confronts the demoness on a rainy night, but only manages to cut off her arm which he saves as a prize, locking it away in a chest. Later, Ibaraki disguises herself as his own aunt and manages to talk her way into his home in order to reclaim her arm.
