"Snow, Moon and Flowers - Snow in Yoshiwara" is a renowned Japanese woodblock print created by Suzuki Harushige, an artist active during the Edo period. This print is one of a triptych, a common format in Japanese woodblock prints, where three images are thematically and visually linked to represent the celebrated themes of snow, moon, and flowers—each a symbol of Japan's natural beauty in one of the three distinct seasons: winter, autumn, and spring, respectively.

Harushige's work, "Snow in Yoshiwara," specifically captures the winter scene, depicting the famous pleasure district of Yoshiwara during a snowfall. The Yoshiwara district was located in Edo, present-day Tokyo, and was known for its courtesans and the vibrant nightlife that attracted the townspeople and travelers alike. In this print, Harushige illustrates the beauty of the snow-covered landscape, possibly intertwining the seasonal cold with the emotional experiences of those within the district.

The print is characterized by the ukiyo-e style, a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries, which translates to "pictures of the floating world." Ukiyo-e art often featured scenes from history, folklore, landscapes, and the entertainment quarters of Japan. Harushige's work contributes to this tradition by capturing the transient beauty of the winter season and the fleeting pleasures of Yoshiwara.

As with many ukiyo-e prints, "Snow in Yoshiwara" would have been produced through a collaborative process involving a publisher, artist, carver, and printer. The prints were made by carving an image onto woodblocks, one for each color, and then pressing them onto paper in succession. This technique allowed for multiple copies to be made, making art accessible to the merchant and middle classes of the time.

"Suzuki Harushige" is not as well-documented as some of his contemporaries, like Hokusai or Hiroshige, and as such, there is less information available about his life and the full breadth of his work. However, "Snow, Moon and Flowers - Snow in Yoshiwara" stands as a testament to the artist's skill and the enduring appeal of the ukiyo-e genre. It remains an important piece of Japanese art history and continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic beauty and cultural significance.
