EDITORS COMMENTS
The Eleventh Month (Juichigatsu), from the series "Popular Customs of the Twelve Months" is a captivating woodblock print created by Katsukawa Shuncho during the Edo period in Japan. This exquisite artwork, dating back to the 18th century, showcases the rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess of Japanese ukiyo-e. In this scene, we are transported to a serene countryside setting where a mother and her daughter engage in traditional customs associated with November. The warm colors and meticulous details bring life to their surroundings as they carry a stone lantern known as toro, symbolizing illumination during darker days. The mother's gentle hand gestures convey her nurturing nature while guiding her young child through these cherished traditions. The girl's eyes sparkle with curiosity and innocence as she clutches onto her toy, representing playfulness amidst familial bonds. As we observe this tender moment between generations, we witness not only the beauty of Japanese art but also an intimate portrayal of motherhood and parenting. The artist masterfully captures the essence of family dynamics within society during that era. Katsukawa Shuncho's skillful block printing technique adds depth and texture to each figure's body language, making them come alive on paper. This print serves as a testament to his artistic school's influence on popular culture at that time. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this remarkable piece invites us into an enchanting world where tradition meets artistry.
