Arashiyama: Kyoto – by Suzuki Harunobu

Harunobu Japanese wood block print by Suzuki Harunobu (1725 - 1770).  I like the simple compositional daring of dividing up the page into two, then using this to develop tension between the characters.  (You’ll have to excuse, however, the label inserted at the bottom.)

    On the following page you can find an interesting article on Harunobu's excellent pupil Isoda Koryusai (act.1770-1790s)

    Click here for more articles on Ukiyo-e woodblock prints by for instance: Kuniyoshi, Utamaro, Hokusai, Shunga (erotic prints)...etc.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
