Nishiki-e is a type of ukiyo-e woodblock print known for its high quality and rich color combinations. Suzuki Harunobu (1725?–70) is remembered as Japan’s pioneering Nishiki-e artist, who derived inspiration from previous versions of the genre called Benizuri-e, woodblock prints which were limited to two or three colors. Harunobu’s innovative Nishiki-e prints would come to dominate the age as demand for his vibrant works skyrocketed. Despite their popularity, copies of Harunobu’s works exist in Japan in limited numbers, with over 80% held overseas. This exhibition showcases 150 pieces from the Harunobu Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Guests are invited to enjoy this rare opportunity to experience a comprehensive view of Harunobu’s artistic influence within Japan.
