EDITORS COMMENTS
No. 10 (ju) 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 showcases the daily life of women involved in the sericulture industry during the Edo period in Japan. The scene depicts four women at work, with one woman carefully drying silk fabric on a rack, another woman wringing out freshly harvested silk cocoons, and two more women engaged in the process of unwinding the silk thread from the cocoons using a tool called a 'tewamaki.' The women are dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, including kimonos in shades of green and pink, accessorized with obi belts and sandals. The print also features intricate calligraphy and delicate floral motifs, including roses, adding to its artistic beauty. This print is a testament to the importance of the textile industry during the Tokugawa period and the skillful artistry of the women who played a crucial role in its production. The print is now part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Japan and its artistic traditions.
