"Two Geisha Reading from a Book" is a Japanese woodblock print by the artist Gakutei Harunobu, not to be confused with the more widely known Suzuki Harunobu. Gakutei Harunobu, active during the late Edo period, is recognized for his contributions to the ukiyo-e genre, particularly for his surimono prints—privately commissioned pieces that were often more detailed and luxurious than commercial prints. This particular piece, as suggested by its title, depicts two geisha engaged in reading from a book. The artwork is characteristic of the ukiyo-e style, capturing the cultural aspects of the floating world, a term that describes the hedonistic lifestyle of pleasure and entertainment in urban Japan during the Edo period.

The print is notable for its intricate design and the use of multiple colors, which would have been a complex and labor-intensive process at the time of its creation. The composition likely reflects the literacy and cultural refinement of geisha, who were not only entertainers but also educated women well-versed in literature, poetry, and the arts. The image of the two geisha reading also serves to highlight the role of women as both connoisseurs and transmitters of literary culture in Edo society.

As a work of art, "Two Geisha Reading from a Book" provides valuable insight into the social customs and artistic practices of the time. It stands as an example of the intersection between the commercial demands of the ukiyo-e market and the personal, often poetic expressions found in surimono prints. The piece is significant for scholars studying the genre of ukiyo-e, the role of women in Edo-period Japan, and the history of Japanese printmaking.
