Description
In this print, titled Arawaruru Koi, Utamaro depicts a young woman smiling and cooling herself with a round fan. Her hair is in disarray, and she appears to be looking down at someone while adjusting a pin in her hair. The print is from Utamaro's Kasen Koi no Bu ("Anthology of Poems: The Love Section") series originally produced in the 1790s and is considered the most sensual.
Please refer back to the description of this set as a whole to find more information on other aspects of this print.
Quite a few years back, Dave made a reproduction of one of the prints in the same series as this one (mentioned above), and thought it might be interesting to produce a little quiz about the designs. That quiz is still online; if you would like to challenge your ability to 'see' what Utamaro saw, please give it a try!
