EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to Japan in the late 18th century. The image showcases a woman dressed in an exquisite kimono adorned with a delicate pattern of snow-covered bamboo, symbolizing resilience and beauty amidst adversity. Standing gracefully, she is engrossed in choosing an obi, a wide sash that completes her traditional attire. Seated beside her is another woman who attentively presents different obis for consideration. Behind them stands a decorative screen depicting two elegant cranes, representing longevity and fidelity. The intricate details of this woodcut print by Suzuki Harunobu highlight his mastery of color and composition. In the background, we catch a glimpse of a serene porch overlooking a tranquil basin, adding depth to the scene's tranquility. This artwork captures not only the aesthetic appeal but also reflects cultural values such as gracefulness and attention to detail that were highly regarded during this period in Japanese history. The mention of Suzuki Harunobu on the object indicates his authorship and further enhances its value as an artistic masterpiece. As viewers, we are transported back in time to witness this intimate moment between two women immersed in their choices while surrounded by elements that evoke harmony with nature
