"Tending the newly hatched worms, no.1 from Joshoku kaiko tewaza-gusa, c.1800" is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro. Utamaro, who lived from 1753 to 1806, is celebrated for his bijin-ga, or "pictures of beautiful women," and his work significantly influenced the ukiyo-e genre during the Edo period. This particular print is part of a series titled "Joshoku kaiko tewaza-gusa," which translates to "Manual of Silkworm Cultivation by Women." The series is a detailed and intricate depiction of the various stages of sericulture, the process of silk farming, which was a vital industry in Japan.

In "Tending the newly hatched worms, no.1," Utamaro captures the delicate and labor-intensive task of caring for newly hatched silkworms. The print showcases women meticulously attending to the tiny worms, emphasizing the precision and care required in the early stages of silk production. Utamaro's attention to detail and his ability to convey the subtleties of human activity are evident in this work, as he portrays the women with grace and dedication.

The composition of the print is marked by Utamaro's characteristic use of elegant lines and refined color palettes. The figures are depicted with a sense of fluidity and movement, highlighting the artist's skill in rendering human forms and expressions. The background elements, though minimal, provide context and enhance the overall scene, drawing the viewer's attention to the central activity of tending the silkworms.

Utamaro's "Joshoku kaiko tewaza-gusa" series not only serves as an artistic achievement but also as a historical document, offering insights into the daily lives and labor of women in Edo-period Japan. Through this series, Utamaro pays homage to the often-overlooked contributions of women in the silk industry, capturing their expertise and the cultural significance of their work. "Tending the newly hatched worms, no.1" stands as a testament to Utamaro's mastery in ukiyo-e and his ability to blend artistic beauty with social commentary.
