"Shunga: Abuna-e: Le Nouvel An" is a notable work by Suzuki Harunobu, a prominent Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period. Harunobu is celebrated for his innovative contributions to the art of woodblock printing, particularly in the development of nishiki-e, or "brocade pictures," which are characterized by their rich, multi-colored prints. His works often depict scenes of everyday life, beautiful women, and romantic encounters, rendered with delicate lines and a refined sense of composition.

"Shunga: Abuna-e: Le Nouvel An" falls within the genre of shunga, which refers to erotic art in Japanese culture. Shunga, literally meaning "spring pictures," was a popular form of art during the Edo period, created by many renowned ukiyo-e artists. These works were not merely pornographic but were appreciated for their artistic merit, humor, and the skillful depiction of intimate human relationships. They were often used as educational materials for young couples and were believed to bring good luck and protection against evil.

The term "abuna-e" refers to "risky pictures," a subset of shunga that is slightly more suggestive rather than explicitly erotic. "Le Nouvel An," or "The New Year," suggests that this particular piece might be associated with the themes of renewal and celebration, common in Japanese New Year traditions. During this period, it was customary to exchange gifts and enjoy various forms of entertainment, including the appreciation of art.

Harunobu's work in this genre is distinguished by his elegant portrayal of figures and the subtle interplay of colors and patterns. His ability to capture the nuances of human expression and the intimate moments of daily life has made his shunga works highly valued by collectors and scholars alike. "Shunga: Abuna-e: Le Nouvel An" exemplifies Harunobu's mastery in blending eroticism with aesthetic sophistication, offering a glimpse into the cultural and artistic practices of Edo-period Japan.
