Designer: Miyagawa Shuntei Era: Meiji | Currency: $ / £ / € Price: ![]() Description: This print is part of the series "Children’s Customs and Manners" (Kodomo Fuzoku) by Miyagawa Shuntei. The series consists of two sets of 24 prints, each illustrating children engaged in various activities—from seasonal and indoor/outdoor play to festive events and scenes of everyday life during the Meiji era. Shuntei’s designs are distinguished by their detailed figures, featuring pale tones, soft brushwork, and a subtle color palette evoking a nostalgic view of childhood. This print shows two boys playing with the shadow cast by a lit candle, capturing a moment of childhood imagination. The scene unfolds inside a tatami room, where one boy sits near the candle, projecting hand shadows onto a shōji screen. The sliding door is wide open, revealing the serene garden outside, with a flowing stream and the glow of the full moon overhead. The second boy stands just outside the room, gazing in with quiet admiration at his brother’s shadow figures. This print is backed and marks on the back. ![]() Browse thumbnail pages of various selections from the catalogue ...
