The flowing lines, delicate shading, and masterful use of color exemplify Utamaro’s iconic style, bringing this timeless scene to life. Printed on high-quality washi paper, this edition maintains the depth of color, soft tonal transitions, and intricate detailing true to the original Ukiyo-e technique.

Japanese Ukiyo-e bijin-ga woodblock of a young woman holding a kiseru tobacco pipe. From Fujin So? Gaku Jittai (Ten facial types of women’) by Kitagawa Utamaro.

Original wood block print measures 11 1/2″ x 8 1/2″.
The area of the woodblock print showing is 13.5″ long by 8.75″ wide. Framed it is 18.5″ by 14.5″. This is the middle sheet of a triptych and thus, technically, only one third of the full work of art. The date stated on the back refer to the FIRST Toyokuni, who was not as prolific or as commercially successful as his descendant. We have not removed the print from its mount. The margins that surround the image are usually printed with publisher’s seals and censor’s stamps, all of which help to locate the impression very accurately and we have not attempted to remove the woodblock from the frame to see if this information is still intact. This woman is properly referred to as a “Bijin”…. Which refers to a beautiful young woman.
