Group of Six Geisha Under the Cherry Trees on Gotenyama 1785 - 1795

This woodblock print, created between 1785 and 1795 by the renowned Japanese artist Torii Kiyonaga, depicts a group of six geisha strolling beneath cherry blossoms at Gotenyama, a popular spot for outings in Edo. Kiyonaga, a master of the *ukiyo-e* style, captures the elegance and beauty of the geisha with meticulous detail and delicate color. The print exemplifies the artist's ability to convey the fleeting nature of beauty and the transience of the cherry blossom season. The work is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
