Painting Description
"A Couple Making Love, The Woman Just Out Of Her Bath After Washing Her Hair" is a shunga, a type of Japanese erotic art, created by the renowned ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Shunga, which literally means "spring pictures," is a genre of woodblock prints that was popular during the Edo period in Japan. These works often depicted sensual and erotic scenes with an emphasis on love, pleasure, and the beauty of the human form.
Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) is one of the most famous artists of the ukiyo-e genre, best known for his iconic print "The Great Wave off Kanagawa." However, his work in shunga is less widely known but is an important part of his oeuvre. Hokusai brought his distinctive style and exquisite detail to the erotic scenes he depicted, which was a common practice among ukiyo-e artists of the time.
The piece in question, "A Couple Making Love, The Woman Just Out Of Her Bath After Washing Her Hair," is characteristic of Hokusai's attention to detail and his ability to capture intimate moments. The artwork portrays a couple engaged in a sexual act, with the woman having just emerged from her bath, suggesting a sense of immediacy and spontaneity in their encounter. The title itself provides a narrative context, inviting the viewer to consider the sensual and private moment shared between the lovers.
As with many shunga prints, this work would have been part of a larger series or album, intended for private enjoyment. Shunga was often collected by individuals from various social classes and was not considered taboo or explicit in the same way that it might be in other cultures. Instead, it was appreciated for its artistic merit as well as its erotic content.
The specific print "A Couple Making Love, The Woman Just Out Of Her Bath After Washing Her Hair" is an example of Hokusai's mastery in capturing the human experience and emotion through the lens of sexuality. It reflects the broader cultural acceptance of sexuality as an art form during the Edo period and provides insight into the private lives and customs of the time.
While shunga prints are less frequently exhibited due to their explicit nature, they remain an important aspect of the study of Japanese art and the work of Katsushika Hokusai. This particular piece, like many shunga works, is valued for its artistic quality and as a window into the cultural and social norms of the Edo period in Japan.
