| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. 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: Original caption information provided as: "Suzuki Harunobu 1769 Plum Blossoms at the edge of the water, elegant poetry of the four seasons. Chuban Nishiki-e 27.9X208, Second Month (1725-1770)" |
