Oo, Itai [ouch! That Hurts!] is a notable woodblock print by the celebrated Japanese artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi, who was active during the late Edo period. Kuniyoshi, born in 1797 and passing in 1861, is renowned for his dynamic and imaginative compositions, particularly in the genres of ukiyo-e, which translates to "pictures of the floating world." His works often depict scenes from Japanese folklore, kabuki theater, and historical events, characterized by their vivid colors, intricate details, and dramatic expressions.

This particular print, "Oo, Itai [ouch! That Hurts!]," exemplifies Kuniyoshi's skill in capturing human emotion and movement. The title itself suggests a moment of acute pain or surprise, which is a common theme in Kuniyoshi's work, where he often infused humor and a sense of the theatrical into his prints. The piece likely portrays a scene with exaggerated expressions and dynamic poses, elements that Kuniyoshi masterfully employed to convey the narrative and emotional intensity of the moment.

Kuniyoshi was part of the Utagawa school, a dominant force in ukiyo-e art, and he was instrumental in popularizing the warrior print genre, known as musha-e. His works were influential in shaping the visual culture of his time and continue to be celebrated for their artistic and historical significance. "Oo, Itai [ouch! That Hurts!]" is a testament to his ability to blend traditional Japanese aesthetics with a keen sense of storytelling, making his prints not only visually striking but also rich in cultural context.

Kuniyoshi's legacy endures through his extensive body of work, which remains a subject of study and admiration in both Japan and the wider art world. His prints, including "Oo, Itai [ouch! That Hurts!]," offer a window into the vibrant and multifaceted world of Edo-period Japan, reflecting the societal values, popular culture, and artistic innovations of the era.
