This ukiyo-e woodblock print, created by the prolific Japanese artist Keisai Eisen, depicts a beautifully dressed woman, likely a courtesan. The print's vibrant colors and intricate patterns showcase Eisen's mastery of the medium. The woman's elaborate hairstyle, elaborate kimono, and the cherry blossom tree with hanging paper lanterns suggest a celebratory occasion. The subject, likely inspired by kabuki theatre, emphasizes the idealized beauty and fashionable attire of Edo-period Japan. The print is an excellent example of the *bijin-ga* genre, which features beautiful women.
