Description

woodblock print, signed Utamaro hitsu (Brush of Utamaro), censor’s seal kiwame (approved), published by Murata Jirobei, circa late 1790s

Vertical oban: 38.2 x 25.6 cm., 12⅝ by 8⅜ in.

Hanaogi, or ‘Flower Fan’, was a name bestowed upon exceptional courtesans of the Ogiya [lit. House of the Fan]. Utamaro has given this Hanaogi the elongated proportions fashionable in the mid-1790s, her tall, slender form thrown into further relief by the two young attendants who follow closely behind her, one half-concealed by her frame. Each wears kimono emblazoned with open fans among stylised cherry blossoms. Hanaogi's inner robe is embroidered with a profusion of cherry blossoms, in contrast to the geometric design of six-petalled flowers and key-fret pattern on her obi sash.

A similar impression of the same print is in the collection of the San Diego Museum of Art, accession number 1957.119, go to:
