EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "It's good to take the first bath Yudonohajimeyoshi" captures a moment of tranquility and tradition. The image depicts a woman with a handkerchief delicately placed in her mouth as she carefully puts on her belt, known as an obi. Behind her, a towel hangs over a rack, evidence of the drying process after her bath. Part of the series for the Hanazono poetry association called "Hanazono bantsuzuki" this print holds great significance. It is believed that the first activities undertaken in the new year were considered extra special, and this artwork beautifully reflects that belief. The inclusion of two poems adds depth to this piece. One poem specifically focuses on the importance of taking the first bath of the new year, highlighting its symbolic meaning and cleansing properties. Notably, each print from this series features a red cartouche which refers to almanacs used by people born in specific years. These almanacs dictated which activities could or could not be performed on certain days. Created by Totoya Hokkei around 1822 using paper and color woodcut techniques, this Japanese artwork transports viewers back in time while showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. Its intricate details and cultural significance make it an invaluable addition to any collection.
