The Fragrance of a Bath 1930

"The Fragrance of a Bath" (1930) is a woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Ito Shinsui (1898-1972). The artwork depicts a woman, likely a geisha, drying her leg after a bath in a natural setting. The delicate composition, soft colors, and sensual details are characteristic of Shinsui's "bijinga" (beautiful women) style, which was popular in the early 20th century. The falling autumn leaves and the sea in the background evoke a sense of tranquility and nature's beauty, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal of the work.
