Description : A young woman tries to gather her handkerchiefs and adjust her clothing while being buffeted by a strong gust of summer wind. Above her, the origin of the wind becomes clear-it has been sent by the mischievous wind god, Füjin. This print is one of the early examples of abuna-e (suggestive art), which, with its clear implication that the god enjoys toying with the young woman and disheveling her hair and clothing, borders on being shunga, or erotic art. (from Summer Evenings: Harunobu exhibition 5/30/06-)
