This woodblock print, created by Utagawa Kunisada between 1825 and 1830, depicts two women standing outside a bathhouse. One woman is in the process of disrobing, while the other sits and watches. The scene, set in Edo, is a vivid example of the "ukiyo-e" genre, which focused on everyday life and the pleasures of the city. Kunisada's use of bold lines and vibrant colors brings a sense of energy and movement to the composition. The detailed depiction of the women's clothing and the bathhouse itself further contributes to the print's evocative atmosphere. This print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the social interactions and daily routines of Edo-era Japan.
