EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating woodblock print titled "Yamauba Breast Feeding Kintaro, Japan" by Kitagawa Utamaro transports viewers to the enchanting world of 19th-century Japanese folklore. This mesmerizing artwork, created during the Edo period, depicts a tender moment between Yamauba and her son, Kintaro. Utamaro's masterful use of color and intricate detailing brings this scene to life. The long-haired Yamauba sits gracefully on a mat, her flowing locks cascading down her back as she cradles Kintaro in her arms. With a hand gesture full of love and warmth, she guides him towards her breast for nourishment. The artist skillfully captures the essence of motherhood in this piece. Yamauba's serene expression reflects both the joy and pain that comes with breastfeeding. As Kintaro playfully bites on his mother's nipple, their bond is beautifully portrayed through their intertwined bodies. This artwork not only showcases Utamaro's artistic prowess but also provides insight into traditional Japanese family life during this era. It serves as a window into the cultural heritage and customs surrounding parenting in Japan at that time. Displayed within the Art Institute of Chicago's collection of Asian art, this woodblock print continues to captivate audiences with its unique portrayal of an intimate maternal moment. Utamaro's work stands as a testament to his ability to capture human emotions and tell stories through his artistry.
