The full title of this print is "Young lovers walking together under an umbrella in a snow storm". It is attributed to Harunobu Suzuki (1725-1770). Suzuki Harunobu (Japanese: LingMu ChunXin; c. 1725 - 8 July 1770) was a Japanese designer of woodblock print art in the ukiyo-e style. He was an innovator, the first to produce full-color prints (nishiki-e) in 1765, rendering obsolete the former modes of two- and three-color prints. Harunobu used many special techniques, and depicted a wide variety of subjects, from classical poems to contemporary beauties. Like many artists of his day, Harunobu also produced a number of shunga, or erotic images. During his lifetime and shortly afterwards, many artists imitated his style. A few, such as Harushige, even boasted of their ability to forge the work of the great master. Much about Harunobu's life is unknown.
This print appears to be a modern reproduction of the original as it has embossing on the woman's kimono as well as on the snow on the ground. It is nevertheless a quite beautiful print framed in black silk with non glare glass. Frame dimensions are: 18.5 H x 12.25 W x 0.5 D.
