About the Artist

Kitagawa Utamaro, born in 1753, was a master of ukiyo-e, known for transforming woodblock prints into intimate portrayals of Edo-period Japan.

Utamaro focused on capturing the allure of feminine beauty, particularly through his iconic "Large-head" portraits that emphasized the faces of courtesans and women of his time. His prints distilled complex emotions with simple yet evocative lines and vibrant colors, bringing his subjects to life.

Utamaro's mastery of techniques like "kirazuri" (mica printing) and his innovative use of negative space set his work apart. His influence extended beyond Japan, inspiring artists like Hokusai and even the European Impressionists.

Utamaro's work remains celebrated for its handcrafted beauty, inviting viewers into the elegance and sensuality of the floating world.
