"Portrait of The Courtesan Hanamurasaki From The House Of Tama-ya" is a woodblock print by Keisai Eisen, a Japanese ukiyo-e artist known for his bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women). Created during the Edo period, this print is part of Eisen's larger body of work that captures the life and beauty of courtesans, who were considered the epitome of fashion and culture in the pleasure quarters of Edo (modern-day Tokyo).

The print depicts Hanamurasaki, a high-ranking courtesan (oiran) from the Tama-ya brothel, in an elaborate pose that showcases her beauty and luxurious garments. The courtesan's name, Hanamurasaki, suggests a connection to the purple of wisteria flowers (murasaki), which were often associated with the elegance and nobility in Japanese poetry and symbolism. The Tama-ya, or the House of Tama-ya, was one of the prominent brothels in the Yoshiwara district, the licensed red-light district of Edo.

Eisen's work is characterized by his attention to detail, particularly in the intricate patterns of the kimono and the elaborate hair ornaments that adorn the courtesan's hairstyle. The portrait is a quintessential example of the ukiyo-e genre's focus on the fleeting beauty and transient pleasures of the urban demimonde. It reflects the cultural and social milieu of the time, where the allure of the Yoshiwara courtesans was a popular subject for artists and a fascination for the public.

The print is part of a larger series that Eisen produced, which documented the appearances and distinguishing features of various courtesans from different houses. These prints served not only as works of art but also as a form of advertisement and celebrity portraiture for the courtesans and the establishments they represented. Through his prints, Eisen contributed to the visual culture of the period and the perpetuation of the Yoshiwara's legacy in Japanese art history.

As with many ukiyo-e prints, "Portrait of The Courtesan Hanamurasaki From The House Of Tama-ya" would have been produced through a collaborative process involving the artist, the carver, the printer, and the publisher. The print's historical and cultural significance is further enhanced by its role in disseminating the fashion and trends of the Edo period to a wider audience, thus serving as a valuable resource for understanding the period's aesthetics and society.
