"Oiso" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Keisai Eisen (1790-1848). The print depicts a woman washing herself in a wooden tub, her back turned to the viewer, her hair flowing down her back. The scene is set against a picturesque backdrop of a village nestled between a mountain and the sea. This print is a fine example of the Ukiyo-e style, known for its lively portrayal of everyday life and its vibrant use of color. The print's subject matter is particularly interesting as it showcases a woman's intimate moment, revealing a glimpse into the daily life of the Edo period. The detailed depiction of the woman's body and the surrounding environment, including the boats and the village, makes this print a captivating example of Eisen's artistic talent.
