Kitagawa Utamaro (Kitagawa Utamaro) Ukiyo-e Framed Work "Ten Types in the Physiognomic Study of Women: The Beauty Reading a Letter" Bijin-ga
This is a framed work of the representative piece "Ten Types in the Physiognomic Study of Women: The Beauty Reading a Letter" by the famous Edo period ukiyo-e artist Kitagawa Utamaro. The expression of the woman engrossed in reading a letter, along with the depiction of the beautiful kimono and obi, is very captivating.
This is a vintage piece that has been long treasured in the family home. Due to its age, there is some wear and minor damage to the frame and backing board. On the reverse side, there is an ink inscription (brush-written) reading "Showa 52 (1977) New Construction Celebration Kumagaya Branch Together."
