"The Evening Bell of the Clock" (時計の夕べの鐘, Tokei no yūbe no kane) is a renowned woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Suzuki Harunobu, who was active during the Edo period. Created circa 1765, this print is one of the eight in the series known as "Eight Parlour Scenes" (八室の内, Hachimuro no uchi), which depicts various intimate indoor settings and the private lives of women in the pleasure quarters and bourgeois households of Edo (modern-day Tokyo). Harunobu is celebrated for his pioneering work in nishiki-e (錦絵), or "brocade pictures," which are multi-colored woodblock prints that emerged in the mid-18th century and revolutionized the ukiyo-e genre with their delicate lines and intricate use of color.

"The Evening Bell of the Clock" specifically captures a moment of quietude and reflection, featuring a young woman, possibly a courtesan, listening to the sound of a distant bell. The scene is imbued with a sense of wistfulness and the transience of beauty and life, themes often explored in Japanese literature and art. The print is characterized by Harunobu's signature style, which includes a refined use of line and a subtle, soft color palette that conveys the atmosphere and emotional depth of the scene.

As a part of "Eight Parlour Scenes," this work exemplifies Harunobu's contribution to the development of the full-color print and his ability to portray the elegance and sensitivity of the subjects within their private spaces. The series is celebrated for its artistic merit and for providing a window into the cultural and social milieu of 18th-century Japan. "The Evening Bell of the Clock" holds a significant place in the history of Japanese art and continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and cultural significance.
