Egoyomi with Rabbits, Soshu, 1867, Art Institute of Chicago: Asian Art

This surimono is a rare and late example of an egoyomi print, or “picture calendar.” In the 18th century, egoyomi exchange parties became quite popular among both literate commoners and samurai, gathering together the aficionados of such print designs for gift exchanges at the New Year.This calendar was produced by the same group that commissioned Zodiac Surimono one year earlier; four of the poets appear on both prints. In addition, this print includes three visitors from afar and a female member. The latter was not unusual, as men and women often became members of same poetry groups at this time. Charles H. Mitchell Collection unrestricted gift Size: 24.9 x 18.3 cm Medium: Color woodblock print; surimono
