"A Woman Playing a Shamisen" is a celebrated woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Suzuki Harunobu, who was active during the Edo period. Created circa the 1760s, this piece is a fine example of Harunobu's pioneering work in the development of nishiki-e, or "brocade pictures," which are multi-colored woodblock prints. Harunobu is credited with being one of the first artists to produce full-color prints in Japan, moving away from the limited palettes of earlier ukiyo-e prints.

The artwork depicts an elegantly dressed woman playing the shamisen, a traditional three-stringed Japanese instrument. Her posture and the intimate setting suggest a private performance, possibly within the confines of a pleasure quarter, which were common themes in ukiyo-e art. The print is characterized by its delicate lines, subtle use of color, and the gentle portrayal of the figure, which reflects the grace and beauty ideals of the time.

As a part of Harunobu's oeuvre, "A Woman Playing a Shamisen" exemplifies the artist's skill in capturing the fleeting beauty of everyday life in Edo-period Japan. His work is noted for its poetic and often romantic qualities, and this print is no exception. The piece is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its historical importance in the evolution of Japanese printmaking techniques.

Harunobu's prints were highly influential and set the standard for the golden age of ukiyo-e that followed, with artists such as Kitagawa Utamaro and Katsushika Hokusai further developing the genre. "A Woman Playing a Shamisen" remains an important work in the study of Japanese art and continues to be admired for its aesthetic qualities and cultural significance.
