EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Yama-Uba, the Woman of the Mountain, with Kintoki, her Baby" by Utamaro Kitagawa, transports us to a serene and intimate moment in Japanese folklore. The print measures 27x38 cm and is housed in the Musee Guimet in Paris. In this enchanting scene, we witness Yama-Uba, also known as "the Woman of the Mountain" tenderly combing her long hair while cradling her precious baby boy named Kintoki. Yama-Uba's nudity symbolizes her connection with nature and highlights the raw beauty of motherhood. Utamaro skillfully captures the essence of maternal love through delicate lines and exquisite details. The artist's mastery lies not only in portraying physical features but also in conveying emotions. Yama-Uba gazes lovingly at Kintoki as she combs her hair, embodying both strength and tenderness. The woodblock technique used here adds depth to the composition while infusing it with a sense of tradition. This art form flourished during Japan's Edo period (1603-1868) and was popularized by ukiyo-e prints like this one. As we admire this timeless masterpiece from centuries past, we are reminded of the universal theme of motherhood that transcends time and culture. It serves as a poignant reminder that no matter where or when we live, there is an innate bond between mothers and their children that remains
