"Oiran and Maids by a Fence" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created during the Edo period, this artwork is part of Hokusai's extensive oeuvre that captures the vibrant urban culture of Tokyo, then known as Edo. The print depicts an oiran, a high-ranking courtesan, accompanied by her attendants or maids, near a fence that possibly delineates the pleasure quarters where she resides and works.

Hokusai's portrayal of the oiran is marked by his attention to detail and the intricate patterns of her kimono, which reflect her status and the fashion of the time. The composition of the print, with the fence serving as both a physical and symbolic barrier, highlights the separation between the world of the oiran and the society beyond. The maids, often younger women in service, are shown in simpler attire, and their presence emphasizes the hierarchical nature of the pleasure districts.

As with many of Hokusai's works, "Oiran and Maids by a Fence" exemplifies the artist's skill in using line, color, and perspective to convey depth and character. The print is a valuable historical document, offering insight into the customs and lifestyles of Edo-period Japan. It also showcases Hokusai's artistic mastery, which has influenced not only Japanese art but also Western artists since Japan opened its doors to international trade in the mid-19th century.

The print is part of Hokusai's broader contributions to the ukiyo-e genre, which often featured scenes from everyday life, landscapes, and beautiful women, known as bijinga. "Oiran and Maids by a Fence" is a testament to Hokusai's legacy as one of Japan's most significant and innovative artists, whose work continues to be celebrated for its beauty and cultural significance.
