"Streetwalker (Tsujigimi)" is a woodblock print by the celebrated Japanese artist Keisai Eisen (1790-1848). The print depicts a beautiful woman, likely a courtesan, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. Her face is partially obscured by a blue scarf, creating a sense of mystery and allure. The intricate details of the woman's attire and the overall composition of the print are characteristic of Eisen's ukiyo-e style. Ukiyo-e, meaning "pictures of the floating world," was a popular genre of Japanese art that depicted everyday life, particularly the pleasures of the Edo period. This artwork is a stunning example of Eisen's mastery of this artistic tradition, showcasing his ability to capture the beauty and allure of Japanese women.
