"A Portrait of the Courtesan Hanaogi of the Ogiya Preparing to Decorate a Fan" is a notable ukiyo-e woodblock print by the Japanese artist Chōbunsai Eishi (1756–1829). Eishi, who was originally trained in the Kano school of painting, became one of the prominent ukiyo-e artists of his time, particularly known for his bijinga (pictures of beautiful women). This print is part of a genre that celebrates the beauty and fashion of courtesans, who were often considered trendsetters and cultural icons in the pleasure districts of Edo-period Japan.

The artwork depicts Hanaogi, a famous courtesan from the Ogiya brothel in the Yoshiwara district of Edo (modern-day Tokyo). In the print, Hanaogi is portrayed in the midst of preparing to decorate a fan, a task that showcases her grace and artistic skill. The composition typically reflects Eishi's elegant and refined style, characterized by elongated figures and a subtle use of color. The courtesan's attire and hairstyle would have been at the height of contemporary fashion, providing insights into the aesthetics and culture of the time.

As a piece of Eishi's oeuvre, this print contributes to the understanding of the role of courtesans in Edo society and the artistry involved in ukiyo-e productions. The print is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical value, offering a window into the world of the Yoshiwara pleasure quarters and the complex interplay between art, entertainment, and society in 18th-century Japan.

The print is an example of the full-color nishiki-e technique, which came into prominence in the second half of the 18th century and allowed for a rich palette and intricate designs. Eishi's work is often compared with that of his contemporaries, such as Utamaro and Sharaku, who also specialized in portraits of courtesans and kabuki actors. "A Portrait of the Courtesan Hanaogi of the Ogiya Preparing to Decorate a Fan" remains an important work for scholars studying the genre of bijinga and the evolution of ukiyo-e during the Edo period.
