Painting Description
"Two Shunga From 'Ehon Komachi-Biki'" is a pair of erotic prints by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753–1806). These prints are part of a larger work, 'Ehon Komachi-Biki', which translates to "Picture Book of the Komachi Pulling" and is a shunga, or erotic book, that was published in the late 18th century. Utamaro is celebrated for his exquisite portrayal of women and is considered one of the masters of the shunga genre.
Shunga, meaning "spring pictures," is a type of Japanese erotic art that was produced and circulated widely during the Edo period (1603–1868). These works often depicted sexual scenes with an emphasis on the beauty and variety of human sexuality. They were enjoyed by both men and women of various social classes and were not considered shameful or obscene, but rather a natural and celebrated aspect of life.
The "Two Shunga From 'Ehon Komachi-Biki'" by Utamaro exemplify the artist's skill in capturing the intimate and sensual moments of sexual encounters. His work is characterized by a delicate and refined line work, as well as a keen attention to detail and expression. Utamaro's shunga prints are notable for their portrayal of the emotional connection between the participants, setting them apart from the more explicit and less emotionally involved works of some of his contemporaries.
Utamaro's 'Ehon Komachi-Biki' is a significant contribution to the shunga genre, as it reflects the cultural and artistic values of the Edo period while also showcasing the artist's unique style and thematic focus. The "Two Shunga From 'Ehon Komachi-Biki'" remain important examples of Utamaro's legacy as a master of ukiyo-e and as a key figure in the history of Japanese erotic art.
