Komachibiki, Shunga by Kitagawa Utamaro is a notable example of shunga, a genre of Japanese erotic art, particularly ukiyo-e woodblock prints, from the Edo period. Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753 – 1806) was a prominent Japanese artist renowned for his portraits of beautiful women (bijin-ga) and for his contributions to the shunga genre. The term "komachibiki" refers to the act of pulling back the hair, which is a motif that can be found in Utamaro's erotic prints.

Utamaro's shunga works are characterized by their delicate lines, attention to detail, and the expression of sensual beauty. They often depict the intimate moments of couples from various walks of life in Edo-period Japan. In Komachibiki, as with many of Utamaro's shunga, the focus is not solely on the explicit depiction of sexual acts but also on the emotional connection between the participants and the aesthetic qualities of the scene.

Shunga played a significant role in Japanese culture during the Edo period, serving as both a form of sexual education and entertainment. Despite the explicit nature of these works, they were widely accepted and circulated among adults of various social classes. Utamaro's shunga, including Komachibiki, are considered important cultural artifacts that provide insight into the sexual customs, fashion, and domestic life of the time.

As an artist, Utamaro's reputation was built on his ability to capture the subtleties of human relationships and the beauty of the female form. His work in shunga is no exception, and Komachibiki exemplifies his skill in portraying the intricacies of private encounters with both eroticism and artistry. Today, Utamaro's shunga prints, along with his other works, are highly regarded for their historical value and artistic merit, and they continue to be studied and appreciated by scholars, collectors, and art enthusiasts around the world.
