Japanese Woodblock Print’Kitagawa Utamaro’ Geisha Smoking a Cigarette Ukiyo-e MA383. This hand-printed woodblock print, meticulously restored by the Adachi Hanga Research Institute, is a faithful reproduction of “Fujin Ninso Juppin: Kitsuen” (Ten Facial Expressions of Women: Smoking) by Kitagawa Utamaro, one of the most celebrated Ukiyo-e artists of the Edo period. Known for his masterful depictions of feminine beauty, Utamaro’s Bijin-ga (beautiful women portraits) capture the subtle emotions and refined elegance of Edo-period women. This artwork is part of his renowned “Fujin Ninso Juppin” (Ten Facial Expressions of Women) series, which explores the different moods and expressions of women engaged in daily activities. In this particular piece, a graceful woman is depicted smoking a kiseru (traditional Japanese pipe), exuding a sense of relaxation and quiet contemplation. The delicate facial features, soft shading, and detailed kimono patterns are signature elements of Utamaro’s style, making this print an exceptional example of Edo-period artistry. Printed on high-quality washi paper, this edition maintains the depth of color, soft tonal transitions, and intricate detailing true to the original Ukiyo-e technique. The print includes reference materials, providing insight into its history and the meticulous restoration process. Width: 35 cm / 13.78 inches. Height: 49 cm / 19.29 inches.
