EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "No. 11 from the series Women Engaged in the Sericulture Industry" offers a glimpse into the world of Japanese women working diligently in the sericulture industry. Created by renowned artist Utamaro, Kitagawa during the late 18th century, this reproduction showcases two women skillfully weaving silk thread. Originally part of a larger composition consisting of twelve sheets printed in 1795, this particular print measures 38x25.1 cm and is housed at the Free Library of Philadelphia's Print and Picture Collection - Jackson Collection of American Lithographs. The image portrays these industrious women immersed in their craft, their hands deftly manipulating threads with precision and expertise. Dressed in traditional kimonos, they exude an air of elegance even as they toil away. Utamaro's woodcut technique beautifully captures intricate details such as the delicate strands of silk being woven together and the subtle textures within their garments. The composition evokes a sense of harmony between nature and human labor, highlighting Japan's rich history in sericulture –the cultivation of silkworms for silk production. This mesmerizing artwork not only celebrates these hardworking individuals but also pays homage to Japan's textile heritage. It serves as a reminder that behind every exquisite piece of fabric lies countless hours spent by skilled artisans like these women who have dedicated themselves to preserving age-old traditions.
