Prints of Children
Prints
of children account for a small fraction of ukiyo-e prints. Some of theses show karako (boys in ancient Chinese dress). This genre includes the series listed as 65,
81, 109, 114, 116, 119, 123, 124, 129, 132, 136, 138, 142, and 146 in Kuniyoshi by Basil William Robinson
(Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 1961).
Other prints of children may be found in the section on Paragons of Filial Piety. I am grateful to Ward Pieters for assisting
with this section.
