The work belongs to the Ukiyo-e tradition, a genre that flourished in Japan during the Edo period. These prints often documented the figures of the pleasure districts, including actors, geisha, and high-ranking courtesans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure is shown in a standing pose, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and holding a shamisen, a three-stringed musical instrument. Her attire is decorated with patterns, rendered through the limited colour palette typical of early nineteenth-century prints. The composition includes a fan-shaped cartouche at the top containing calligraphy, which provides context regarding the subject's identity and her affiliation. The lines are precise and controlled, characteristic of the woodblock carving techniques employed by artists of this period to define form and textile texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNagahide was active in Kamigata, the region encompassing Kyoto and Osaka. Prints from this area often differ from the more widely known Edo-style prints in their subject matter and stylistic approach. The paper shows signs of age, consistent with the material history of Japanese woodblock prints from this era. The print functions as a visual record of the fashion and cultural life of the time, capturing the specific aesthetic of the courtesan class. The use of muted tones, primarily ochre and ink-black, focuses the viewer's attention on the figure's posture and the details of her instrument. This print provides a view into the social hierarchies and artistic output of the Kamigata region during the early nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/a-boat-upon-the-waters-utagawa-kuniyoshi\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Boat upon the Waters - Utagawa Kuniyoshi — Utagawa Kuniyoshi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/fifty-three-stations-of-the-tokaido-inspired-by-famous-pictures-kanagawa-utagawa-kunisada\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō: Inspired by Famous Pictures (Kanagawa) - Utagawa Kunisada — Utagawa Kunisada\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nagahide","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58781828186447,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58781852762447,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58781852795215,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58781852827983,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58781852860751,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58781852893519,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58781852926287,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58781852959055,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58781852991823,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58781853024591,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58781853057359,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58781853090127,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Courtisane-Makino-uit-het-Sansho-huis_Poster_CompositorV1_1789393871923.jpg?v=1789394953","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/courtisane-makino-uit-het-sansho-huis-nagahide","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
