This Shōwa period print pays homage to Beauties Returning from Bath, a famous composition by Suzuki Harunobu, a pioneer of 18th-century Japanese color printmaking. Faithful to the original work, this high-quality print delicately reproduces two elegant women under an umbrella, strolling along a snowy street, enveloped in a subdued atmosphere typical of Harunobu's genre scenes.
The Shōwa period reissues, carefully crafted by the finest engravers and printers, aimed to preserve and convey the refined aesthetic of the Edo period. This print is a fine example: Japanese paper, subtle colors, and precise lines.
An ideal piece for ukiyo-e enthusiasts seeking an authentic and accessible version of a great classic.
