"After the Bath (Tokyo)" from the series "Women's Customs in Japan" (Nihon jozoku sen) places Onchi's interest in the female bathing figure within a more documentary framework — the observation of actual Japanese women's daily practices. The Tokyo designation may indicate that this version of the subject was observed in the capital rather than in more traditional regional settings, giving the work a specifically modern urban context. The series format (Women's Customs in Japan) suggests an ethnographic as well as aesthetic interest in Japanese women's domestic life.
