From the series: Ten aspects of female physiognomy (Fûjin sôgaku juttai). Signed: kansô Utamaro (the physiognomist Utamaro). Published by Yamashiro Tôemon. Outside the genre of the erotic prints (shunga) the nude is not a common subject on Japanese prints. It is only with utamaro that we do find a considerable number of nudes.
