Yozei no In 1756 - 1776

"Yozei no In" is a woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu, depicting two women in a domestic scene. The print, created between 1756 and 1776, showcases the artist's mastery of the *ukiyo-e* style, known for its vibrant colors and depictions of everyday life in Edo-period Japan. The scene, featuring a woman climbing a ladder to reach a branch of blossoming cherry blossoms, evokes a sense of delicate beauty and fleeting nature. Harunobu was a pioneer of *nishiki-e*, a multi-colored woodblock print technique, and this print demonstrates his characteristic use of soft, muted tones and intricate detail. This artwork is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
