Painting Description
"Originally A Calendar Print For Meiwa" (元禄風俗画暦) is a notable woodblock print created by Suzuki Harunobu, a distinguished Japanese ukiyo-e artist active during the Edo period. Harunobu is widely recognized for his pioneering development of the polychrome print, or nishiki-e, which allowed for the creation of prints with a wide range of colors and intricate detail. This particular work is part of Harunobu's oeuvre that contributed to the popularization of the full-color print in the mid-18th century.
The print, as suggested by its title, was originally designed as part of a calendar for the Meiwa period (1764-1772). During this time, it was common for artists to produce elegantly designed calendars, which were considered luxury items and often featured beautiful courtesans, seasonal landscapes, or fashionable scenes of urban life. Harunobu's calendars were especially sought after for their artistic quality and the innovative use of color printing techniques.
"Originally A Calendar Print For Meiwa" exemplifies Harunobu's delicate style and his ability to capture the subtleties of human expression and the beauty of the natural world. The artwork typically showcases the artist's skill in depicting figures in a serene and idyllic setting, often incorporating elements of romanticism and poetic sentiment that were characteristic of the period's aesthetic preferences.
As with many of Harunobu's prints, this piece is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical value. It provides insight into the customs and fashions of the Meiwa era, reflecting the urban culture of Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and the tastes of its citizens. The calendar print would have served both a practical purpose in tracking dates and an aesthetic one, as a work of art to be admired and displayed.
Today, "Originally A Calendar Print For Meiwa" is considered an important work within the history of Japanese art and is studied for its contribution to the development of the ukiyo-e genre. It is preserved in various art collections and museums around the world, allowing scholars and enthusiasts to appreciate Harunobu's mastery of the woodblock printing technique and his impact on the visual arts of Japan.
