This beautiful ukiyo-e print is a representative work of "everyday bijinga (日常美人絵)" by Torii Kiyonaga (鳥居清長,1735-1785), a master of Edo-period Japanese ukiyo-e. It belongs to the Fūzoku Azuma no Nishiki (風俗東之錦) series, with the specific title Hitobito Kudaketa Ko Chiisa Hito Utsukushii Jōyū (人婦く抱た児小さ人美り上湯) (translated as "A Beautiful Woman After a Bath with a Woman Holding a Small Child"). This version is a reprint issued by a professional institution in the 1920s.
In the image, the "jōyū (上湯)" (woman after a bath) stands sideways, her robe half-draped to reveal her shoulders and shins, exuding a gentle and leisurely demeanor. Beside her, a kneeling woman holds a young child, radiating the warmth of domestic childcare — this everyday scene perfectly aligns with the urban folk theme of Fūzoku Azuma no Nishiki (風俗東之錦). The composition is elaborate: the elegant poise of the beauty and the tender interaction between the child-carrying woman are vivid and lifelike, evoking the lively atmosphere of Edo’s streets. The color palette is harmonious and refined, and the "menbatsu no bundan (目抜の分寸) (slender, elongated body proportions)" (slender, elongated body proportions) highlights the iconic style of "Kiyonaga bijin (清長美人)", lending exceptional artistic charm.
The protective paper of this print includes a Japanese-language introduction to the work, with edge damage. Due to the passage of time, the paper shows signs such as oxidation-induced yellowing and mold spots.
