Thank you for viewing. Please read the profile. ・Product Description This is a picture book that depicts the history of "ofuro" (bath) which is indispensable to our lives, from "cave baths" to "kama-buro" (cauldron baths), "Hideyoshi's bath," "yuya" (bathhouse), and "sento" (public bath). With beautiful classical Yamato-e paintings and easy-to-understand explanations, it's full of interesting information about baths the more you look! From the Nara period to the present day, this book allows you to feel the lives of people living in each era through the various forms of baths that have changed with the times. ・Message from the author, Hitomi Kikuchi We take baths every day without a second thought. "Huh, does the bath even have a history?" you might wonder. ...Yes, it does. And what's more, it's incredibly fun. Long ago, "cave baths" began to be built on the coasts of Japan. In the Nara period, there were baths that looked like magnificent temples, like the Todai-ji Temple, or rather, they looked like temples from any angle. The scenes in the classical Yamato-e paintings, with people wearing eboshi (formal headwear) gathered together, are very atmospheric. What about the Heian period...?
