I have just added a new print by Suzuki Harunobu. Like the other Haranobu prints in the colelction, it is a reprint from a famous collection called Japanese colour prints in Ukiyo style Ukiyo fuzoku Yamato nishiki-e [浮世風俗やまと錦絵]. They were published in 1916 by Hashiguchi Goyô [橋口五葉] who was an early 20th century Japanese print maker (1880-1921). There were 12 volumes with 20 ukiyo-e reprints in each.
The new image is Night Rain at the Double-Shelf Stand Daisu no yau [台子の夜雨] from the series Eight Parlour Views Zashiki hakkei [座敷八景]. They are parodies of the "eight views," hakkei [八景] which have a long history in Japanese art, dating back to Chinese originals. See Hiroshige's famous Eight Views of Omi Omi hakkei. This one is a parody of The evening rain at Karasaki [唐崎の夜雨].
