"Washing Feet" is a subject that invites both the literal and the metaphorical reading: the physical act of cleaning the feet after a long journey, and the ritual of ablution that marks transition and purification across many cultures. Whether this print connects to the 1947 repatriation series or stands independently, it captures a moment of intimate physical care — the body attending to itself — with the direct, unsentimental attention that characterizes Kitaoka's best figurative work.
