Double-page Illustration from Vol. 2 of "Picture Book of Spring Brocades (Ehon haru no nishiki)" 1771

This double-page illustration from Suzuki Harunobu's "Picture Book of Spring Brocades (Ehon haru no nishiki)" depicts two women in elegant clothing standing on a veranda. The illustration is a classic example of the *ukiyo-e* genre, showcasing the beauty of everyday life in Edo-period Japan. The woman on the right appears to be looking out at the scene of the moonlit landscape, while the woman on the left holds a box, possibly a gift. Created in 1771, this work exemplifies Harunobu's signature style of delicate lines and vibrant colors. *Ukiyo-e* prints like this were highly popular and served as a form of visual storytelling for a broad audience.
