Title: Japanese Ukiyo-e Woodblock Print – *Daughter of Denbei* by Kitagawa Utamaro Artist: Kitagawa Utamaro (signed "Utamaro hitsu" / "Drawn by Utamaro"), a master renowned for *bijin-ga* (portraits of beautiful women). Condition: Crisp, sharp lines; no tears or missing corners. Detailed Description: This woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro is a classic example of the *ōkubi-e* ("large-head picture") style—a genre pioneered by the artist that focuses on capturing facial features and the expression of the upper body. The print depicts a beautiful woman from the Edo period wearing a high *Shimada* hairstyle adorned with a gold hairpin and a white hair ribbon; the strands of hair are rendered with delicate, fluid lines. She wears a serene expression and glances back over her shoulder; her slender eyes complement her cherry-red lips. Her right hand is slightly raised, with the sleeve of her kimono gently brushing against her cheek. She wears a kimono featuring a black-and-white checkerboard pattern, while a blue-green fern motif is faintly visible on the hem of her undergarment. The background is treated with silver powder, creating a matte silver-gray texture. A poem in Japanese cursive script appears in the upper left corner, and the artist's signature, "Utamaro hitsu," is printed vertically on the right side. The print features distinct layering and precise color registration (utilizing black, gold, blue-green, and orange-red), with exquisite carving details in the hair strands and kimono folds. Although the paper shows natural signs of age, there are no tears or holes, and the overall condition is excellent. It is ideal for framing and display. Paper dimensions: 39 x 26 cm
