"The Seventh Month" is a ukiyo-e woodblock print by Ishikawa Toyomasa from 1757-1777. The artwork depicts a group of children gathered around a lantern, watching shadows projected from it. The print, measuring 10 inches in height and 7 3/8 inches in width, exemplifies the genre of ukiyo-e, which flourished in Edo-period Japan and focused on everyday life and popular culture. It is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
