A woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro, depicting a woman having her hair combed by a hairdresser, capturing a scene of daily life in Edo-period Japan.
This woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro (1753-1806) depicts a scene of everyday life in Edo-period Japan. The artwork presents a woman seated before a mirror, attended by a 'kameyui', a female hairdresser who is combing her hair. The composition is divided into distinct planes, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The figures are rendered with delicate lines and subtle gradations of colour, typical of Utamaro's style. The woman's kimono is decorated with a simple pattern, while the hairdresser's attire is more subdued. In the background, other figures can be seen engaged in various activities, adding to the overall sense of a bustling urban environment. The print is a fine example of 'ukiyo-e', a genre of Japanese art that flourished during the Edo period, and which often depicted scenes of daily life, portraits of courtesans and actors, and depictions of famous places.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

inventing the close-up portrait in Japanese printmaking, turning Edo shopgirls into celebrities, and being manacled for fifty days over a print of the wrong ruler
