| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from slide. Hand-colored, image flipped/reversed. Note: "Suzuki Harunobu (1725? - July 7, 1770) was a Japanese woodblock print artist, one of the most famous in the Ukiyo-e style. He was an innovator, the first to produce full-color prints (nishiki-e) in 1765, rendering obsolete the former modes of two- and three-color prints. Harunobu used many special techniques, and depicted a wide variety of subjects, from classical poems to contemporary beauties...Much about Harunobu's life is unknown."--Wikipedia. Note: "Chūban, a print size about 7 by 10 inches (18 by 25 centimeters)"--Wikipedia. Note: "There are three different states of this print, and though the differences are minor, they are worth recounting. In what is taken to be the first state, [most likely the one in this image], the youth's leg is enclosed in a legging and the thong-fastening of his sandal is elaborate...(A.I.C.)".--Suzuki Harunobu by Jack Hillier, page 162. Note: Original caption information provided as: "Harunobu b. 1725-d. 1778 (1725-1770) Hand Colored Slide" |
