Description:
This image is part of a series of woodblock prints by Eitaku Kobayashi, published under the title Children's Games by the Hakubunkwan, in a second edition from 1894. The book contains twelve illustrations of children at play, one for every month of the year, alternating between boys' and girls' pastimes. This image is the final picture, depicting mid-winter, with four boys piling up a big snowman, with bits of charcoal for the eyes. The preface to the book, translated into English, remarks that 'these innocent children's games often give an insight into the fast-decaying customs which their elders have in town long discarded, and even in the country are beginning to forget. They afford never failing subjects to artists bent upon delineating the most characteristic features and institutions of this country.' Koybayashi, or Sensai Eitaku (1843 - 1890), was one of the foremost painters of the Ukiyo-e School of the Meiji period, combining Japanese and Western-style elements. Translated as "the floating world," Ukiyo-e imagery depicts the pleasures of daily life and the fleeting beauty of the natural world.
