"Wataboshi-shokunin Making Love With A Merchant" is a woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu, a prominent Japanese ukiyo-e artist known for his delicate and innovative works. Harunobu was active during the Edo period and is credited with the development of the full-color print or nishiki-e, which allowed for a more intricate and vibrant representation of subjects in ukiyo-e art. The print in question is part of Harunobu's oeuvre that typically features bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women) and shunga (erotic art).

The artwork depicts an intimate scene between a wataboshi-shokunin, a craftsman who makes bridal headgear called wataboshi, and a merchant. The interaction between the two characters is portrayed with the subtlety and sensitivity characteristic of Harunobu's style. The print is likely to be part of a larger series, as was common for shunga works of the time, which often narrated a story through a sequence of images.

As with many shunga prints, the piece serves not only as an erotic work but also as a reflection of the customs and fashions of the Edo period. The details of clothing, interior design, and the tools of the craftsman's trade provide insights into the daily life and culture of the time. Harunobu's work is particularly noted for its poetic and often romantic portrayal of its subjects, setting it apart from the more explicit or humorous tones found in the shunga of some of his contemporaries.

The print "Wataboshi-shokunin Making Love With A Merchant" is an example of Harunobu's contribution to the genre of shunga and his mastery of the polychrome printing technique. It is a valuable piece for the study of Japanese art history, particularly in understanding the intersection of commercial, artistic, and erotic content in the Edo period's popular culture.
