"Boy Startling a Young Woman" is a Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print by the artist Mihata Joryu, active during the late Edo period. This print is notable for its depiction of a playful, yet startling moment between a young boy and a woman, capturing a candid instance of everyday life in Edo-period Japan. The artwork reflects the genre's characteristic focus on the fleeting beauty and the transient nature of life, known as "mono no aware," a key aesthetic concept in Japanese culture.

Mihata Joryu, although not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, contributed to the rich tradition of ukiyo-e with his unique style and thematic choices. "Boy Startling a Young Woman" showcases Joryu's skill in portraying human emotions and interactions, with a composition that balances both action and reaction. The print is composed with attention to detail and utilizes the period's prevalent techniques and color palettes.

The artwork serves as an important cultural artifact, providing insight into the social dynamics and daily activities of the time. It is a valuable piece for scholars interested in the study of ukiyo-e, Japanese art, and the representation of women and children in historical contexts. As with many ukiyo-e prints, it likely formed part of a series, although the specific series and the print's original publication date remain uncertain due to the limited documentation on Mihata Joryu's life and oeuvre.

In the broader context of Japanese art history, "Boy Startling a Young Woman" contributes to the understanding of the evolution of ukiyo-e themes and styles, as well as the genre's influence on later artistic movements, both within Japan and internationally. The print is an example of the cultural exchange and artistic innovation that characterized the Edo period, reflecting the era's commercialization of art and the growing accessibility of visual culture to the urban population.

Today, "Boy Startling a Young Woman" is appreciated not only for its historical significance but also for its aesthetic qualities and the light-hearted narrative it portrays. It remains an engaging work for audiences and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and contribution to the ukiyo-e tradition.
