"Stirring the silk worms, no.4 from Joshoku kaiko tewaza-gusa, c.1800" is a notable woodblock print created by the esteemed Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro. Utamaro, who lived from 1753 to 1806, is renowned for his bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women) and his innovative approach to ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through the 19th centuries. This particular work is part of a series titled "Joshoku kaiko tewaza-gusa," which translates to "Women Engaged in the Sericulture Industry."

The series is a detailed and intimate portrayal of the various stages involved in sericulture, the cultivation of silkworms for the production of silk. Utamaro's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the subtleties of human activity are evident in this work. "Stirring the silk worms, no.4" specifically depicts women engaged in the delicate task of tending to silkworms, an essential step in the silk production process. The composition is meticulously arranged to highlight the grace and precision required in this labor-intensive activity.

Utamaro's use of color, line, and composition in this print exemplifies his mastery of the woodblock printing technique. The artist's ability to convey texture and movement through the medium is particularly noteworthy. The women are depicted with a sense of elegance and poise, their expressions and postures reflecting both concentration and a serene dedication to their work. The background elements, though minimal, provide a contextual framework that enhances the overall narrative of the scene.

This work not only showcases Utamaro's artistic prowess but also serves as a valuable historical document, offering insights into the daily lives and labor of women in Edo-period Japan.
