Kaigetsudo Dohan was a prominent Japanese artist of the Edo period, known for his contributions to the ukiyo-e genre, which flourished from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world," often depicted scenes of kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, beautiful women, and landscapes. Dohan was part of the Kaigetsudo school, which was renowned for its distinctive style of portraying bijin-ga, or "pictures of beautiful women."

One of Dohan's notable works is "Courtesan," a painting that exemplifies the Kaigetsudo school's approach to depicting the idealized beauty of women in the pleasure quarters of Edo (modern-day Tokyo). The Kaigetsudo style is characterized by its use of bold, sweeping lines and a focus on the elegance and grace of the female form. Unlike other ukiyo-e artists who employed intricate backgrounds and detailed settings, Dohan's work often features a more minimalist approach, allowing the viewer to focus entirely on the subject.

"Courtesan" showcases a woman dressed in an elaborate kimono, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. The courtesan's poised and dignified stance, along with her serene expression, reflects the high status and refined beauty that were celebrated in the pleasure districts. The attention to detail in the kimono's design and the subtle use of color highlight Dohan's skill and the distinctive aesthetic of the Kaigetsudo school.

Dohan's work, including "Courtesan," provides valuable insight into the cultural and social dynamics of the Edo period. The portrayal of courtesans in ukiyo-e art not only served as a form of entertainment but also as a means of documenting and idealizing the lives of these women, who played significant roles in the cultural life of the time. Through his art, Dohan contributed to the rich tapestry of Japanese visual culture, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to be appreciated by art historians and enthusiasts alike.
