[An elderly man, seen from behind, bathing in a wooden tub]
Someone washing in a tub, sketched lightly in ink lines with soft touches of color.
About this print
A figure sits in a wooden tub with their back to us. With the round head tilted a little, the bather has looped a narrow cloth from the shoulder across the back and pulls it with both hands to scrub. On the left are about six lines of large cursive writing and red seals.
Washing yourself like this, in a tub filled with hot or cold water, is called gyozui. The working title the library gave this picture describes the bather as an elderly man.
In the wide blank space on the right, two small things drawn in ink lines sit some distance apart. Each has a thin, loop-like line on it.
