Japanese Ukiyoe Woodblock Print Art Reproduction
This Japanese art print is a reproduction of a ukiyo-e woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaru called 'Tama River at Mount Koya (Courtesan Smoking a Pipe)'. It is a portrait of a woman, likely a geisha, with a traditional nihongami hairstyle smoking the kiseru pipe. This type of ukiyoe is called bijinga, beautiful ladies.
Ukiyoe is a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. Its artists produced woodblock prints and paintings of such subjects as female beauties, kabuki actors and sumo wrestlers, scenes from history and folk tales, travel scenes and landscapes, flora and fauna, and erotica.
