Husband and Wife Caught in an Evening Shower
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Fufu no Yudachi), from the series "Three Evening Pleasures of the Floating World" (Ukiyo San Seki), is a captivating color woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro around 1800. This masterpiece showcases the intimate moment of a husband and wife as they enjoy an evening shower together, a common practice during the Edo and Tokugawa periods in Japan. The print, which is part of the Oban size Naga format, depicts the couple standing under a parasol, their bare feet touching the cool stones of a tatami mat floor. The husband, wearing a black kimono with a green obi sash, holds an umbrella to shield his wife from the rain. She is dressed in an olive green kimono with intricate patterns, her hair styled in an elegant chignon. The parasol, with its own intricate design, adds a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The couple's bodies are depicted with great attention to detail, highlighting the beauty of the human form. The use of color, particularly the contrast between the black and green, adds depth and dimension to the print. The rain, represented by delicate lines, adds a sense of movement and energy to the otherwise still scene. This print is a testament to the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which focused on the pleasures of the floating world, or the transient nature of life. It is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the customs and fashion of Japan during the 19th century. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate audiences with its intricate details and timeless beauty.
