"Spring Embrace" (春の抱擁, Haru no Hōyō) is a woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Suzuki Harunobu, who was active during the Edo period. Created in the 18th century, this work exemplifies Harunobu's delicate and lyrical style, which was instrumental in the development of the full-color print or nishiki-e. Harunobu is renowned for his bijinga (pictures of beautiful women) and for his innovative use of multiple blocks to achieve a wide range of colors and intricate designs, a technique that was groundbreaking at the time.

"Spring Embrace" depicts a tender moment between a young couple, set against the backdrop of the awakening spring, a common theme in Japanese art that symbolizes renewal and fleeting beauty. The print is characterized by its subtle use of color and graceful line work, which convey a sense of intimacy and the ephemeral nature of youth and love. Harunobu's work often portrays the private lives of women in the Yoshiwara district, the licensed pleasure quarter of Edo (modern-day Tokyo), and this print may also reflect the romanticized view of courtesan culture prevalent in ukiyo-e.

As with many ukiyo-e prints, "Spring Embrace" would have been produced through a collaborative process involving the artist, the carver, the printer, and the publisher. The print's exact dimensions, the number of impressions made, and the specific techniques used would be essential details in understanding the work's place within Harunobu's oeuvre and the broader context of ukiyo-e art.

"Spring Embrace" is not only a significant example of Harunobu's artistic achievements but also an important cultural artifact that offers insights into the aesthetics and societal norms of the Edo period. The print's influence extends beyond its time, contributing to the appreciation of Japanese art and aesthetics in the West, particularly during the Japonisme movement of the late 19th century. Today, "Spring Embrace" is considered a masterpiece of ukiyo-e and is studied for its historical and artistic value, held in collections of Japanese art around the world.
