A woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro depicting the Oiran Kasugano of the Ogiya house in procession under cherry blossoms. The print exemplifies Utamaro's skill in capturing the beauty and grace of women.
This woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro (1753-1806) depicts the Oiran Kasugano of the Ogiya house, a high-ranking courtesan, in a procession beneath cherry blossoms. Utamaro was a leading designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints and paintings, active from the 1770s until his death. He is known in particular for his bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women). The print captures a scene of refined elegance. Kasugano is surrounded by attendants, their robes displaying a variety of patterns and colours. The cherry blossoms overhead add a seasonal element, while the composition is carefully balanced, with figures arranged to create a sense of depth and movement. The print exemplifies Utamaro's skill in capturing the beauty and grace of women, as well as his mastery of the woodblock technique.

Delighted with this print! The colours are extremely vibrant, the imagine crystal clear and beautifully displayed in an attractive frame. Delivery was prompt and securely packaged. Highly recommended and will be using again!
So pleased with my print and the frame it’s housed in. Fantastic quality and really adds character to the room. Communication was great and it was delivered quicker than estimated. Overall I’m extremely pleased and will recommend to friends. I’m already eying up my next purchase!
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.
