"The Assignation: Two Lovers at a Gate" is a celebrated woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu, a prominent Japanese ukiyo-e artist known for his delicate and innovative works. Created during the Edo period, this print is an exemplar of Harunobu's pioneering use of nishiki-e, or "brocade pictures," which refers to multi-colored woodblock printing. Harunobu was instrumental in developing this technique around 1765, which allowed for a richer and more nuanced use of color in Japanese printmaking.

The artwork depicts a romantic scene, a common subject in ukiyo-e, which translates to "pictures of the floating world" and often portrays the fleeting pleasures and urban culture of Edo (modern-day Tokyo). In "The Assignation: Two Lovers at a Gate," Harunobu captures an intimate moment between a couple, likely a courtesan and her client, meeting clandestinely at a gate. The print is characterized by its subtle color gradations, graceful line work, and the sensitive portrayal of the figures' interaction, which conveys a sense of both the elegance and the ephemerality of their encounter.

As with many of Harunobu's prints, "The Assignation: Two Lovers at a Gate" reflects the artist's interest in the fashionable and romantic lives of young people in Edo. His work often includes elements of poetry and allusions to classical literature, which may also be present in this piece, adding layers of cultural and emotional depth to the visual narrative.

"The Assignation: Two Lovers at a Gate" is not only a significant artwork due to its aesthetic qualities but also because it represents a key moment in the history of Japanese art—the advent of full-color printing, which would come to define the ukiyo-e genre and influence artists for generations to come. Harunobu's prints are held in high esteem and are part of the collections of major museums around the world, where they continue to be studied and appreciated for their historical importance and artistic beauty.
