EDITORS COMMENTS
Mother and Child" is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ogata Gekko, created in late 1898 as part of his "Customs of Women" series. This exquisite piece showcases the tender bond between a mother and her young child as they make their way to a New Year's shrine visit. The mother, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, holds her child close, offering a sense of comfort and protection as they navigate the outdoor setting. The scene takes place at the entrance of a shrine, where two pillars adorned with intricate carvings stand tall, framing the Torii gate in the background. The mother and child are joined by two other figures, possibly family members or friends, adding to the sense of community and tradition. The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail in the print encapsulate the beauty and richness of Japanese culture during the late 19th century. This woodblock print is a testament to the enduring themes of motherhood, family, and religious customs that have shaped Japanese society throughout history. The image encourages a sense of independence and self-sufficiency in the mother, as she confidently leads her child towards the shrine, while also emphasizing the importance of community and the passing down of traditions from one generation to the next. The "Mother and Child" woodblock print by Ogata Gekko is a cherished piece of heritage art that continues to captivate and inspire viewers, offering a glimpse into the customs and traditions of Japan during the late 19th century. This print is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to preserve and celebrate the human experience.
