"Preparing Seven-herb Porridge (nazuna) For The New Year" is a woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu, a celebrated Japanese ukiyo-e artist known for his delicate and innovative works. Created during the Edo period, this print is part of Harunobu's extensive oeuvre that helped establish the nishiki-e technique, which involves the use of multiple blocks to print a single image in a range of colors. Harunobu's work often depicted the beauty of everyday life, women, and kabuki actors, and he was instrumental in developing the genre of bijinga (pictures of beautiful women).

The print illustrates a traditional Japanese custom of preparing and eating seven-herb porridge, or nanakusa-gayu, on January 7th, a practice believed to ensure good health for the coming year. The composition typically features a woman or women engaged in the preparation of the dish, highlighting the elegance and grace associated with the ritual. The use of soft colors and intricate patterns is characteristic of Harunobu's style, which often conveys a sense of gentleness and tranquility.

As a work of Suzuki Harunobu, "Preparing Seven-herb Porridge (nazuna) For The New Year" is not only a reflection of Japanese cultural practices but also an important piece within the history of Japanese art. It exemplifies the aesthetic qualities and thematic concerns of the ukiyo-e genre during the mid-18th century. The print is significant for its artistic merit, historical context, and as a representation of Harunobu's contribution to the development of full-color printing in Japan.
