His art was based on the paintings of the Chinese painter Qiu Ying who had lived in the Ming Dynasty. Little is known about the life of Suzuki Harunobu. It is not clear whether he was born in Edo, today's Tokyo or Kyoto. Some art historians assume that he came from a samurai family and was very educated. Harunobu is considered to be a grandmaster of the middle Ukiyoe period and founder of Japanese colour printing. From today's perspective, he was the first artist to popularize multicolor printing. Initially, the painter worked mainly with the colors green and red. Later he used several colors for his prints. Harunobu lived and worked most of the time in Edo.
Typical for Suzuki Harunobu's representations were graceful female figures with inclined heads. Harunobus painting style was fine and expressive. The painter himself had no pupils of his own. However, imitators of his style are known. Harunobu used hidden allusions in his visual language. Thus he created picture calendars, called Egoyomi, which were very popular in his time. The picture calendars were given away among themselves. There was a competition to see who got the best picture calendar. This increased the demand for pictures of Suzuki Harunobu. The painter quickly became known to a wide range of buyers due to his multi-coloured wood prints. The works are still popular with collectors today.
Among the works of the painter were also parodies of well-known literary scenes, called mitates. Harunobu's main themes were everyday scenes and depictions of beautiful young girls, courtesans and their lovers. All figures appear young and fragile. The artist painted them in idealized form. The mood of the pictures is romantic and often a little melancholic. It is unusual that Harunobu was the first Japanese artist to show scenes of single figures and couples in the snow and at night. His complete works include drawings, paintings and woodblock prints. The painter created prints with erotic representations, called shunga (spring pictures) and illustrated many books. Harunobu died at the age of only 45 years.
