"Pornography" by Suzuki Harunobu is a notable work within the genre of shunga, a term that refers to Japanese erotic art. Suzuki Harunobu (1725–1770) was a prominent Japanese ukiyo-e artist known for his innovative techniques and contributions to the development of the full-color woodblock print, or nishiki-e. While the term "pornography" carries a modern connotation that might not fully encapsulate the cultural and artistic nuances of shunga, Harunobu's work in this area is significant for its artistic quality, historical context, and influence on the genre.

Shunga, literally "spring pictures," was a popular genre during the Edo period in Japan, and it encompassed a wide range of books, prints, and paintings with erotic content. These works were not considered taboo or explicitly pornographic in their cultural context but were instead seen as expressions of beauty, fertility, and the transient nature of life, often enjoyed by both men and women across different social classes.

Suzuki Harunobu's contributions to shunga are particularly notable for their delicate and refined style. He was among the first to utilize the multi-colored printing technique effectively, bringing a new level of depth, detail, and vibrancy to the genre. His erotic prints often feature young men and women in intimate, tender moments, characterized by a sense of innocence and beauty rather than explicit sexuality. Harunobu's work in this genre is distinguished by its poetic atmosphere and the subtle, nuanced expressions of the figures depicted.

While specific works titled "Pornography" by Suzuki Harunobu may not be individually documented, his contributions to the shunga genre as a whole are invaluable for understanding the artistic and cultural practices of the Edo period. His work remains a subject of study for scholars interested in Japanese art, the history of sexuality, and the evolution of printing techniques. Through his innovative use of color and composition, Harunobu played a crucial role in elevating the artistic status of ukiyo-e and shunga, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic beauty and cultural significance.
