EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Nishikawa Sukenobu, titled "Lady Interrupting Her Lover, who is Playing the Shamisen" we are transported to 17th or 18th century Japan. The scene depicts a moment of intimate interruption as a woman delicately approaches her lover while he skillfully plays the shamisen, a traditional Japanese musical instrument. The monochrome woodblock technique used in this artwork adds depth and texture to the composition, enhancing its timeless beauty. The intricate details of their clothing, particularly the flowing kimono worn by the lady and the elegant attire of her male companion, reflect the fashion trends of that era. Sukenobu's mastery lies not only in capturing physical appearances but also in conveying emotions through his subjects' expressions. We can sense both love and surprise on their faces as they exchange glances amidst their shared passion for music. This print serves as a window into Edo period culture and society, offering us a glimpse into an intimate moment between two individuals deeply connected through art and affection. It reminds us that love knows no boundaries or time periods; it transcends generations. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece stands as a testament to Sukenobu's artistic prowess and his contribution to ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world) - an important genre within Japanese art history. As we admire this exquisite work today, we honor its heritage and appreciate its ability to transport us across centuries into moments frozen in ink
