Harunobu Suzuki was the first superstar of the ukiyo-e technique known as nishiki-e.

Have you ever looked over a painting by a famous artist on display at an art gallery or art exhibition and found yourself wondering this? Do we look at these paintings with such appreciation because the artist is famous and has received praise from people around the world? Famous paintings are famous because society and all the textbooks and guidebooks tell us so.
