"Moral Teaching for Shopboys Giving Good and Bad Examples of Behavior 14" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi. Created during the Edo period, this print is part of a series that illustrates didactic themes aimed at educating young apprentices and shop workers in Edo (modern-day Tokyo) about the virtues of good conduct and the pitfalls of immoral behavior. Kuniyoshi, known for his diverse subject matter ranging from landscapes to warrior prints, also engaged in creating works with moralistic content, reflecting the values and societal expectations of the time.

This particular print, number 14 in the series, juxtaposes scenes of exemplary behavior with those of misconduct, serving as a visual guide for young men in their formative years. The good examples typically depict diligence, respect for elders, honesty, and other Confucian virtues, while the bad examples warn against laziness, deceit, and other vices. Kuniyoshi's use of vibrant colors, meticulous detail, and expressive characters not only conveys the moral lessons but also provides a glimpse into the daily life and cultural norms of the period.

As with many of Kuniyoshi's works, "Moral Teaching for Shopboys Giving Good and Bad Examples of Behavior 14" is valued for its artistic merit as well as its historical significance. It offers insight into the didactic tools used by merchants and craftsmen to instill ethics and discipline in their young apprentices, a practice that was an integral part of the education system during the Edo period. The print remains an important artifact for scholars studying ukiyo-e and the social history of Japan, as well as for art enthusiasts who appreciate the unique aesthetics of Japanese woodblock prints.
