Ukiyo-e
Utamaro Gallery (Guide)
From private gestures in ōkubi-e to poster girls and group portraits.
Kitagawa Utamaro’s bijin-ga from the Kansei era — public-domain works from The Met and open-access archives.
Ten Physiognomies
婦女人相
Ōkubi-e and “types” of Edo women — private gestures rising from mica-ground sheets: a girl blowing a glass toy, a woman reading a letter.
Three Beauties
寛政三美人
Edo’s celebrated poster girls in one frame — Tomioka Hina, Takashima Ohisa, and Naniwaya Okita. Fashion and refinement in competition.
Utamakura
歌枕
Poetic place-names and hours of the day. Verse and story enter the picture — from private allure toward narrative emblems.
