Vrouw een kimono opbergend 1836 - 1838

"Vrouw een kimono opbergend" is a woodblock print by the prolific Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865). The print, which is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman in a kimono adorned with a bird pattern as she carefully stores another, more elaborate kimono. Kunisada was well-known for his depictions of beautiful women and his intricate designs. This print is a quintessential example of the "bijin-ga" genre, or "pictures of beautiful women", which was a popular style in Japanese art during the Edo Period. The artist's use of bold colors and dynamic composition create a sense of movement and life, making this a captivating example of the beauty and artistry of ukiyo-e prints.
