Taking Food to Rice Planters, Japan - A Glimpse into the Life of Agricultural Workers in the Late 18th/Early 19th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Kubo Shunman transports us back in time to rural Japan during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The artwork depicts a scene from the Edo period, showcasing an essential aspect of Japanese culture - rice farming. In this vibrant colour woodblock print, we see a family immersed in their daily routine. A hardworking mother carries a basket filled with food on her back as she navigates through lush paddy fields. Her multitasking skills are evident as she balances both her nurturing role and farm work responsibilities. The image captures the essence of community and cooperation as children eagerly follow their mother, perhaps eager for lunchtime or simply lending a helping hand. The presence of young boys suggests that even at an early age, they were involved in agricultural tasks alongside their parents. Kubo Shunman's attention to detail beautifully portrays the serene countryside setting where generations have toiled under the scorching sun to cultivate these vital crops. This artwork serves as a testament to the dedication and resilience of farm workers throughout history. As we admire this piece at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Asia gallery, we gain insight into not only historical Japanese life but also appreciate how agriculture has shaped societies worldwide. It is through such artistic expressions that our heritage art continues to inspire and educate future generations about our shared human experience across time and cultures.
