EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "No. 1" by Shunsho, Katsukawa takes us on a journey to the heart of rural Japan. In this exquisite woodblock print, we are transported to a serene farmhouse where two young girls diligently tend to their silk-worms. The delicate beauty of their surroundings is masterfully captured in vibrant colors and intricate details. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost feel the tranquility that permeates the air. The young women, dressed in traditional garments, epitomize grace and dedication as they nurture these tiny creatures that hold such significance in Japanese culture. Silkworm cultivation has long been an integral part of farming communities in Japan, providing not only livelihood but also cultural heritage. This print serves as a testament to the hard work and skill required for successful sericulture. Through this image, Shunsho invites us into a world where nature's wonders intertwine with human ingenuity. It reminds us of the deep connection between humans and our environment – how generations have relied on each other for sustenance and prosperity.
