Utamaro Kitagawa: Kushi, 50x70cm Framed Art Reproduction With Black Frame

Kushi

The Artist: Kitagawa Utamaro

Kitagawa Utamaro, portrait by Eishi Hosoda, 1815

 

Kitagawa Utamaro (circa 1753–1806) stands as a titan of the Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock print tradition, immortalized for his exceptionally refined and psychologically nuanced depictions of women, a genre known as bijin-ga. While the exact details of his birth and early life remain somewhat obscure, he was active in Edo (present-day Tokyo) and is believed to have been a pupil of the painter Tor . . . Read More >>

The Artwork: Kushi

This exquisite portrait exemplifies Utamaro's unrivaled mastery in capturing the refined beauty and intimate moments of Edo period women. Created during the golden age of ukiyo-e in the late 18th century, this delicate composition focuses on the simple yet profound act of hair grooming - a daily ritual that held deep cultural significance in Japanese society. Utamaro's genius lies in his ability to transform an everyday moment into a meditation on feminine grace, using the traditional kushi (comb) as both subject and symbol of beauty.

The artist's masterful use of flowing lines and subtle color gradations brings extraordinary life to his subject, from the intricate details of elaborate hairstyles to the delicate patterns of silk kimono. Utamaro's revolutionary approach to portraiture focused on psychological depth rather than mere physical beauty, capturing fleeting expressions and gestures that reveal the inner world of his subjects. His sophisticated understanding of feminine psychology made him the most celebrated artist of bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women) in Japanese art history.

This original-style print preserves the authentic intimacy of Utamaro's vision without modern distractions. Perfect for powder rooms, dressing areas, or bedroom vanities where its celebration of personal beauty rituals feels most appropriate. The elegant composition works beautifully in feminine spaces, boutique-style walk-in closets, or sophisticated bathrooms where the daily rituals of self-care are elevated to an art form, bringing timeless Japanese elegance to contemporary life.
