"Hanamado no Ogi" (The Courtesan Hanamado from the Ogiya) is a woodblock print by Keisai Eisen, a Japanese ukiyo-e artist known for his bijinga (pictures of beautiful women). Created in the early 19th century during the Edo period, this print is part of Eisen's series "Keisei Tsuzoku Asobi" which translates to "A Modern Version of the Courtesan's First Rank." The series features portraits of courtesans, showcasing their beauty and the fashion of the time.

In "Hanamado no Ogi," Eisen depicts the courtesan Hanamado of the Ogiya, a high-ranking courtesan (oiran) from the Yoshiwara pleasure district in Edo (modern-day Tokyo). The print is characterized by the artist's attention to detail, particularly in the intricate patterns of Hanamado's kimono and her elaborate hair ornaments. The composition typically reflects the ukiyo-e style's emphasis on line and color, with a strong sense of design that captures the viewer's attention.

The print is significant for its representation of the cultural and social aspects of the Yoshiwara district, where courtesans were both entertainers and embodiments of idealized feminine beauty. Eisen's work provides historical insight into the fashion, aesthetics, and lifestyles of the Edo period, making it a valuable piece for both art historians and those interested in Japanese culture.

As with many ukiyo-e prints, "Hanamado no Ogi" was likely produced through a collaborative process involving the artist, the carver, the printer, and the publisher. The print would have been made by applying ink to carved wooden blocks, one for each color, and then pressing them onto paper in succession. This technique allowed for multiple copies to be made, making the art form accessible to a broader audience.

"Hanamado no Ogi" is part of the larger genre of ukiyo-e that has had a lasting impact on the development of Japanese art and has also influenced Western artists, particularly the Impressionists. Keisai Eisen's works, including this print, are appreciated for their portrayal of the floating world's ephemeral beauty and continue to be studied and admired for their artistic and cultural significance.
