Artist: Kiyohiro Torii (1776). Title: "Early Blossoming Beauties" Medium: Woodblock print reproduction. Size: (13x10in). Paper Type: Handmade Traditional Washi. Publisher: Unknown. Date: Showa (1926-1989). Description: Two women engage in a serene bathing ritual within a traditional Japanese interior. One sits with her feet immersed in a wooden tub, her blue-and-red kimono loosely draped to reveal her legs. The other, in a green floral robe, tends to her foot with quiet grace. Red sandals rest nearby, anchoring the scene in domestic realism. Shoji screens and tatami mats frame the moment with architectural intimacy, while the artist’s seal and calligraphy in the upper right suggest poetic or seasonal context. This composition reflects Kiyohiro’s hallmark style: elegant linework, restrained sensuality, and a focus on feminine beauty in everyday life. The bathing theme, common in bijin-ga, evokes purity, seasonal transition, and private ritual.
