A Bath — a subject that occupied Japanese artists across centuries in representations ranging from the erotic to the domestic and contemplative. A woman bathing (yuami) appears throughout bijin-ga as an occasion for depicting the female figure in an intimate, private moment, partially or fully unclothed, attended by her toilette or absorbed in private reflection. Hanko's version, in his characteristic refined nihonga-derived style, would treat this established subject with the elegant restraint that distinguished his approach to the female figure.
