A Woman Holding a Fan Performing a Dance 1797

This 1797 woodblock print by Eisenan Kanemori depicts a woman in traditional Japanese dress performing a dance. The woman is holding a fan and is dressed in a brightly colored kimono with elaborate patterns, creating a sense of movement and dynamism. This is an example of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished in the Edo period (1603-1868) and depicted everyday life, entertainment, and the beauty of the natural world.
