"Ogiya Karauta Bosetsu" (Karauta Of Ogiya In The Evening Snow) is a distinguished woodblock print by the celebrated Japanese ukiyo-e artist Isoda Koryusai. This artwork is part of the series "Seiro Meifu Hakkei" (Eight Views Of Famous Beauties Of The Green Houses), which showcases the renowned courtesans of the Yoshiwara pleasure district in Edo (modern-day Tokyo). Created during the Edo period, Koryusai's work is emblematic of the ukiyo-e genre, which flourished from the 17th to the 19th century and is characterized by its vivid depictions of kabuki actors, beautiful women, landscapes, and scenes from history and folklore.

Isoda Koryusai, active from the late 1760s to the early 1790s, was a prolific artist who initially trained as a samurai before turning to art. He is known for his elegant and refined style, which often depicted the sophisticated and ephemeral world of the Yoshiwara courtesans. "Ogiya Karauta Bosetsu" exemplifies Koryusai's mastery in capturing the grace and beauty of these women, set against the serene backdrop of an evening snowfall.

The "Seiro Meifu Hakkei" series is inspired by the classical Chinese theme of the "Eight Views," which traditionally depicted famous scenic spots. Koryusai's adaptation of this theme to the courtesans of the Yoshiwara district reflects the Edo period's fascination with the floating world (ukiyo), a term that describes the pleasure-seeking aspects of urban life. Each print in the series pairs a celebrated courtesan with a poetic seasonal landscape, creating a harmonious blend of human beauty and nature.

"Ogiya Karauta Bosetsu" is notable for its delicate use of color and intricate detailing, which bring to life the luxurious kimono and the serene, snowy environment. The print not only serves as a testament to Koryusai's artistic skill but also provides a glimpse into the cultural and social milieu of Edo-period Japan. Through works like this, Koryusai has left an indelible mark on the history of Japanese art, capturing the fleeting beauty of a bygone era.
