EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Woman After a Bath, Taisho era, July 1920" transports us back to a bygone era in Japan. Created by the talented artist Hashiguchi Goyo during the early 20th century, this colour woodblock print showcases his mastery of capturing delicate beauty and feminine grace. The image depicts a female figure seated in full length, her body exuding an air of tranquility and vulnerability. The woman's nudity is tastefully portrayed, emphasizing her natural form rather than any explicit details. The soft hues and intricate lines used in the woodblock technique add depth and texture to the composition. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into the intimate setting of a traditional Japanese bathhouse. The woman's relaxed posture suggests that she has just finished bathing, basking in the afterglow of cleansing rituals that were an integral part of daily life during the Taisho era. Acquired by the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at Smithsonian Institution as a generous gift from H. Ed Robison in memory of Ulrike Pietzner-Robison, this piece now resides within their esteemed collection. It serves as both a testament to Goyo's artistic prowess and as a window into Japanese culture during this transformative period. Through its timeless beauty and cultural significance, "Woman After a Bath" continues to captivate viewers with its serene portrayal of femininity amidst historical context.
