Harunobu Suzuki (Harunobu Suzuki, 10th year of Kyoho <1725>?-June 15, 1770 <7th July 1770>) is an ukiyo-e artist in the middle of the Edo period. It gained popularity for its slender, pretty, and delicate facial expressions, and played a decisive role in the birth of the woodblock multicolored nishiki-e that comes to mind when it comes to ukiyo-e, and had a great influence on the development of ukiyo-e later.
It is said that he went to Kyoto and learned from Nishikawa Sukenobu, and later lived in Edo. Or it is said to be a student of Shigenaga Nishimura. His surname is Hozumi, and later Suzuki. Known as Jirobei. Also known as Choeiken and Ancient People. It is believed that he was the owner (landlord) of Edo Kanda Shirakabe Town (currently Kajicho (Chiyoda Ward)) and was relatively wealthy. Hiraga Gennai lives in the neighborhood, and he is said to have been close friends and devised Nishiki-e together. The actor's picture "Soga Goro of Ichimura Kamezo and Mihoya Shiro of Bando Sanpachi" based on the play performed in March 1760 is said to be the first work, and he will die after this. He was active as an ukiyo-e artist for 10 years. In the early days, Benizuri-e actors were also known. During the Horeki year, in addition to such actor paintings and bijin-ga, he produced the classic Benizuri-e and water paintings. Currently, more than 30 actor paintings and more than 30 water paintings are known.
