"The Bath" is a renowned woodblock print created by the Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753–1806) during the Edo period (1603–1868). This work is one of Utamaro's most celebrated bijinga, or pictures of beautiful women, which depict the everyday life and beauty of women in the pleasure quarters and domestic settings of Edo (modern-day Tokyo). Utamaro was a master of the ukiyo-e genre of woodblock prints and paintings, and his works are characterized by their elegant lines, exquisite detail, and subtle use of color.

"The Bath" exemplifies Utamaro's skill in capturing the intimate moments of women's lives with sensitivity and a sense of realism. The print portrays a scene of women at their private ablutions, providing a glimpse into the communal aspect of bathing culture in Japan during the Edo period. The composition is notable for its portrayal of the human body with a sense of grace and naturalism that was innovative for the time. Utamaro's ability to convey the texture of skin, the warmth of the bath, and the varied expressions of the women is particularly admired.

As a work of art, "The Bath" is significant for its influence on both Japanese art and the development of ukiyo-e. It is also recognized for its impact on European artists during the late 19th century, as Japonisme spread through the West and inspired many Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painters. Today, "The Bath" is held in high regard as an iconic example of Utamaro's oeuvre and a masterpiece of Japanese woodblock printing, reflecting the cultural and artistic values of the Edo period. It remains an important piece for scholars studying Japanese art history and for enthusiasts of ukiyo-e prints worldwide.
