Young Woman Seated on the Balcony of Kiyomizu Temple c. 1766

This *ukiyo-e* woodblock print, titled "Young Woman Seated on the Balcony of Kiyomizu Temple", was created by Suzuki Harunobu in c. 1766. The print features a woman in traditional Japanese clothing, seated on a balcony, seemingly lost in thought. The delicate details of the woman's kimono, the intricate wooden structure of the balcony, and the soft brushstrokes of the pine trees all contribute to the serene and contemplative atmosphere of the artwork. This print exemplifies the *bijinga* genre, which focused on the depiction of beautiful women, and showcases Harunobu's talent for capturing both the beauty and the melancholy of everyday life in Edo-period Japan.
