"The Courtesan Nagao of the Owari-ya Sitting by a Brazier Holding a Book" 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 fashion icons and celebrities of their time.

The print depicts Nagao, a courtesan from the Owari-ya brothel, in a moment of repose as she sits beside a brazier, a device used for heating or cooking, which suggests the setting is in the colder season. In her hands, she holds a book, indicating her literacy and perhaps a level of sophistication and intellect that was admired in courtesans. The composition of the artwork, with its attention to the intricate patterns of Nagao's kimono and the careful arrangement of her hair and accessories, reflects the Edo period's aesthetic values and the ukiyo-e genre's focus on the transient beauty of the floating world.

Eisen's work is characterized by his rich color palette and fine detail, which are evident in this print. The artist's ability to convey texture and the interplay of fabric and light contributes to the print's visual appeal. "The Courtesan Nagao of the Owari-ya Sitting by a Brazier Holding a Book" is not only a representation of a courtesan's life but also an example of the cultural and artistic milieu of the time, offering insights into the fashion, leisure, and social structures of the Edo period.

As a piece of the ukiyo-e tradition, this print by Keisai Eisen is significant for its artistic merit and as a historical document. It is a valuable work for scholars studying Japanese art, culture, and the role of women in the pleasure quarters of Edo (present-day Tokyo). The print remains an important artifact within the oeuvre of Keisai Eisen and the broader context of Japanese woodblock printing.
