Washing the Hair

Washing the Hair
“Washing the Hair” by Shinsui Ito is a Japanese woodblock poster depicting a woman delicately bent over, washing her hair. The artwork features intricate blue and white kimono patterns against her bare back, contrasted with beige tones. This ukiyo-e and shin-hanga style illustration from 1953 captures the serene elegance and intimacy of a traditional bathing scene.
