Okay I figured out what this was reminding me of:

These are sugar bowls by the Japanese design firm Ttyokzk! They come in Pear and Apple shapes and I find them endlessly pleasing

師走 (shiwasu) "December" (archaic)

Like many countries, Japan uses a 12-month calendar. The names are very simple. January is literally "Month one" 一月, February is "Month two" 二月, etc.

However, before the Meiji Restoration (mid-1800s) it was common to use an older 12-month system. These months’ names referenced the weather and the seasons (similar to the French Revolutionary calendar).

December is 師走.

師 can refer to a teacher, a mentor, often in a religious sense. In this context it means a monk.

走 means "running".

In December, monks are super busy preparing for the New Year's festival, hence why the last month of the year is literally "the month of running monks".

One of the most delightful things about the ukiyo-e woodprints are the use of humour and absurdism. I am reminded of Utagawa Kuniyoshi's fanatical love of cats, which he worked into as many prints as possible. I love this Bats and Umbrellas from Tsukioka Yoshitoshi.

Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, Bats and Umbrellas, 1882.
