Lovers Plying a Rooster with Sake - Suzuki Harunobu - Japanese Ukiyo Woodblock Painting - Life Size Posters
100 Rs
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 Lovers Plying a Rooster with Sake Suzuki Harunobu Japanese Ukiyo Woodblock Painting
A hallmark of Suzuki Harunobu’s artistic vision is his charming, if somewhat unlikely, depiction of young lovers. Here, a couple gives sake to a rooster in hopes the bird will become too intoxicated to crow, thus prolonging their time together before the household awakens. Seen through the open sliding door, a lantern in the adjoining room indicates it is still early morning, before the previous evening’s accoutrements have been stowed away. However, beyond the woven fence at lower right, an unohana flower, which blossoms in summer, hints that dawn will come early, adding urgency to the lovers’ antics.About the Life Size Posters
