At left, a woman in a coral kimono patterned with white chrysanthemums sits raising a hand to her hairpin. A standing woman with an elaborate hair ornament leans over from behind, reaching out, while a woman in pale floral dress sits on the veranda edge, her geta resting on a green stone step. At right, a woman in brown plays a shamisen beside a small hand drum, near a tall candle stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753–1806) defined the ukiyo-e portrait of women. Working with the publisher Tsutaya Jūzaburō in the 1790s, he introduced the ōkubi-e, or large-head print, which brought the viewer close enough to read a glance or a gesture, and he gave the beauties of the Yoshiwara district individual faces and names. Mica grounds, transparent textiles and fine line work made his prints the most refined of their day. His work is held by the British Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
