"Moral teaching for shopboys giving good and bad examples of behaviour 13" is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi, who was active during the late Edo period. Kuniyoshi, born in 1797 and passing in 1861, is celebrated for his dynamic and imaginative works, which span a variety of genres including warrior prints, landscapes, and kabuki actor portraits. This particular print is part of a series that aims to impart moral lessons to young apprentices, commonly referred to as shopboys, by illustrating both commendable and reprehensible behaviors.

The series, including this 13th print, serves as a didactic tool, reflecting the societal values and expectations of the time. In "Moral teaching for shopboys giving good and bad examples of behaviour 13," Kuniyoshi employs his characteristic style, blending humor and vivid imagery to capture the attention of his audience. The print is divided into two sections: one depicting a positive behavior and the other showcasing a negative one. This duality is intended to provide clear, visual contrasts that make the moral lessons easily understandable.

The good example typically features a shopboy engaging in an act of diligence, honesty, or respect, such as attentively serving a customer or assisting an elder. Conversely, the bad example might show a shopboy being lazy, deceitful, or disrespectful, perhaps shirking duties or engaging in theft. Through these contrasting scenes, Kuniyoshi not only entertains but also educates, reinforcing the importance of virtuous conduct in everyday life.

Kuniyoshi's work is notable for its attention to detail and expressive characters, which bring the moral lessons to life. The artist's ability to capture the nuances of human behavior and emotion makes the series both an artistic and educational treasure. This print, like others in the series, offers a window into the cultural and ethical fabric of Edo-period Japan, highlighting the values that were esteemed and the behaviors that were admonished.
