EDITORS COMMENTS
"No. 11 (juichi) from the series 'Women Engaged in the Sericulture Industry' (Joshoku kaiko tewaza-gusa) by Kitagawa Utamaro, c. 1798/1800, is a captivating color woodblock print that offers a glimpse into the daily life of women during the Edo period (1603-1868) in Japan, specifically those involved in the sericulture industry. The image features two women, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, seated at a table covered with various tools and materials used in the silk farming process. The woman on the left is engrossed in spinning silk thread from a cocoon, while the woman on the right is carefully processing the silk thread, possibly preparing it for weaving or dyeing. The intricate details of their clothing and the textures of the fabrics are beautifully rendered in the print, with the women wearing kimonos in shades of pink and green. The use of calligraphy and block printing adds to the artistic quality of the piece, making it a prime example of the Ukiyo-e artistic school. The sericulture industry was a significant part of Japan's economy during the Edo period, and this series by Utamaro highlights the important role women played in the industry. The print also showcases the country's rich cultural heritage and the beauty of traditional Japanese clothing and textiles. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, No. 11 (juichi) is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, fashion, or history." This print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, and is a testament to the artistic skill and cultural significance of the Edo period in Japan. The image invites us to appreciate the beauty of traditional Japanese clothing and the industrious spirit of the women who played a crucial role in the sericulture industry. The use of color and intricate details in the print make it a standout piece in any art collection.
