Interest was very deep in literature, and Munakata dealt with board image works about work and the poetry of the binding of a cut and the book much from youth. Above all, Isamu Yoshii, a board image, the cut about a song and the novel of Junichirou Tanizaki were the works which Shiko Munakata concentrated power on in postwar period, and many masterpieces including “流離抄板画柵” and “a key board image fence” were born. In addition, these works which featured the theme of modern women brought new development in an image of Munakata for women, and, as for the woman image of the woodblock print of everyday life which was produced triggered by “a key”, and got popularity, it was one of the driving forces to raise popularity of Shiko Munakata in later years. I display the beautiful woman images such as woodblock prints of everyday life born from Yoshii, board image work and there about the work of 谷﨑 here and investigate it about’s original woman expression of Munakata who is bewitching and offered the Buddha-nature.
