EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print by Harunobu, titled "Harunobu style beauties reading and posing with samisen" transports us back to 19th century Japan. The delicate artistry and intricate details of this piece are truly mesmerizing. In the foreground, we see two elegant women dressed in traditional kimonos, engrossed in their reading material. Their graceful postures exude a sense of tranquility as they immerse themselves in the world of literature. The warm brown hues used in this test print add depth and richness to the scene. The focal point of the composition is undoubtedly the samisen, a traditional Japanese musical instrument that holds great cultural significance. Placed delicately on a stand beside them, it serves as a reminder of the harmonious connection between music and literature during this period. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we are transported to an era steeped in tradition and refinement - the Edo period (1603-1868). This was a time when Japan experienced immense artistic growth and creativity flourished under Tokugawa rule. Displayed at Maidstone Museum and Art Gallery in Kent, UK, this print offers us a glimpse into Japanese history while showcasing Harunobu's mastery as an artist. It is through such timeless pieces that we can appreciate not only the beauty but also gain insights into different cultures from around the world.
