Ukiyo Genji hakkei : Suzumushi no bansho n.d.

This ukiyo-e print, *Ukiyo Genji hakkei : Suzumushi no bansho*, by Chōbunsai Eishi depicts two elegantly dressed women, one playing with a wind chime and the other listening intently. The print is a captivating example of the *bijin-ga* (beautiful women) genre, known for its delicate portrayal of idealized female figures in elaborate garments. Eishi, a prominent ukiyo-e artist of the late Edo period, used vibrant colors and detailed designs to create a visually engaging scene that captures the essence of the *ukiyo* (floating world) lifestyle. The work is part of the *Ukiyo Genji hakkei* (Eight Views of the Floating World) series and depicts the autumn season with a focus on the sound of crickets.
