*The Twelfth Month* is a woodblock print by Ishikawa Toyomasa, depicting a scene of winter in Japan. The scene showcases a group of children playing in the snow, their playful movements and expressions captured in detail. The composition is dynamic, with figures arranged in a lively, almost chaotic fashion, making it a quintessential example of the *ukiyo-e* genre. This particular work is dated from 1757–77 and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
