A woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro, 'Kisegawa of Matsubaya' portrays a celebrated courtesan with delicate lines and subtle colours. This portrait captures the elegance of the Yoshiwara district in Edo-period Japan.
This woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro (1753-1806) is from the series 'Seven Komachis of Yoshiwara', dating to around 1795. Utamaro was a leading printmaker and designer of the Ukiyo-e style, known especially for his portraits of beautiful women (bijin-ga). He captured the elegance and refinement of courtesans and geishas in the pleasure districts of Edo-period Japan. The print depicts Kisegawa of the Matsubaya house, a celebrated courtesan of the Yoshiwara district. She is shown in profile, her face rendered with delicate lines and subtle gradations of colour. Her elaborate hairstyle is adorned with ornamental hairpins, and her kimono features geometric patterns. The print exemplifies the Ukiyo-e tradition of capturing fleeting moments of beauty and fashion, offering a glimpse into the sophisticated world of Edo-period entertainment.

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.
