About this artwork
Kunisada made this colour woodblock print around the mid 1820s, in Japan's Edo period. The title tells us it shows a woman leaving a bath house, a quiet everyday moment. Look to the upper right and you will find a small image of a horse emerging from a gourd. It alludes to the story of the Daoist immortal Chokaro, a subject that was popular in otsu-e folk paintings. Kunisada was among the most popular and prolific designers of ukiyo-e prints in nineteenth-century Japan, and this print shows how he could combine a scene of daily life with a witty reference.
On your wall: It would suit a study, hallway or living room where a small, characterful scene of daily life from Edo-period Japan can be enjoyed up close.

About Utagawa Kunisada
Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III, was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist who designed woodblock prints in nineteenth-century Japan. He was among the most popular and prolific print designers of his age, and one of the most commercially successful. In his own lifetime, his reputation was greater than that of contemporaries such as Hokusai, Hiroshige and Kuniyoshi.
