"Chūban Tate-e" refers to a specific format and style within the realm of Japanese woodblock prints, rather than a singular work by Suzuki Harunobu, a prominent Ukiyo-e artist known for his innovative techniques and contributions to the development of full-color printing (nishiki-e) in the mid-18th century. Suzuki Harunobu (c. 1725 – 15 July 1770) was instrumental in the evolution of Japanese woodblock printing, particularly through his pioneering use of multiple blocks to achieve a wide spectrum of colors in his prints, a technique that became a hallmark of Ukiyo-e art.

The term "chūban" refers to a size of Japanese woodblock prints, approximately 11 x 8 inches (28 x 21 cm), which is smaller than the more common ōban size. "Tate-e" indicates that the print is vertically oriented. Suzuki Harunobu produced numerous works in the chūban format, which were highly regarded for their delicate lines, intricate detail, and expressive use of color. His prints often depicted scenes of beauty and tranquility, focusing on the lives and fashions of the Edo period's urban populace, particularly the courtesans and kabuki actors who were the celebrities of their day, as well as scenes of nature and the changing seasons.

Harunobu's work in the chūban tate-e format contributed significantly to the popularity and aesthetic development of Ukiyo-e during the Edo period. His innovative techniques allowed for a greater expression of depth and realism, setting new standards for the art form and influencing countless artists who followed. Harunobu's prints are celebrated not only for their technical mastery but also for their poetic and often whimsical qualities, capturing the ephemeral beauty of everyday life in Edo-period Japan.

As an artist, Suzuki Harunobu's legacy is marked by his pioneering role in the development of the polychrome print and his mastery of the chūban format, which allowed for a unique blend of intimacy and detail in his depictions of the floating world. His works remain highly prized by collectors and are studied for their contributions to the art and culture of Japan.
