"The Place of the Heart" is a *shunga* (erotic art) woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Suzuki Harunobu, created around 1768-1770. The print depicts three figures in a landscape setting, highlighting the sensuality and intimacy of a romantic encounter. Harunobu's signature style is evident in the delicate lines, vibrant colors, and attention to detail, showcasing the beauty and allure of the scene. This *chūban* (medium-sized print) is a testament to Harunobu's mastery of the woodblock printing technique and its ability to convey emotion and sensuality.
