Description

"Nippon Jozokusen / Women's Customs in Japan" is a series title or thematic work addressing Japanese women's daily customs and practices — Onchi's sustained interest in the social and aesthetic dimensions of domestic feminine life. The work participates in the wider shin-hanga and sosaku-hanga engagement with Japanese women's lives as legitimate subjects for serious artistic attention, treating domestic custom not as trivial genre material but as a site of cultural meaning and visual interest.
