Japan: 'Bound Woman'. A hairy and barbarous bandit forces himself on a woman somewhere in deep forest. Utagawa Kunisada, 'Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter: Prospects for Four Seasons' (1827)

Utagawa Kunisada (1786 – January 12, 1865) (Japanese: 歌川 国貞, also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III 三代歌川豊国 ) was the most popular, prolific and financially successful designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints in 19th-century Japan.

In his own time, his reputation far exceeded that of his contemporaries, Hokusai, Hiroshige and Kuniyoshi.
