"The Courtesan Shiratama from the Tamaya House" is a woodblock print created by Keisai Eisen, a Japanese ukiyo-e artist known for his works depicting beautiful women, landscapes, and kabuki actors. This print is part of Eisen's larger body of work that focuses on the "floating world," or ukiyo-e, a genre that flourished in Japan during the Edo period (1603–1868). The piece is a bijinga, a type of ukiyo-e that portrays beautiful women, often courtesans or geisha, in a variety of settings and activities.

In this print, Eisen depicts Shiratama, a courtesan from the Tamaya house, which was a brothel located in the pleasure quarters of Edo (modern-day Tokyo). The artwork showcases the courtesan in an elegant pose, adorned with intricate kimonos and hair ornaments, which were typical of high-ranking courtesans of the time. The print is characterized by its fine detail, rich coloration, and the subtle interplay of patterns and textures, which are hallmarks of Eisen's style.

Eisen's works, including "The Courtesan Shiratama from the Tamaya House," are significant for their contribution to the ukiyo-e tradition and for providing a window into the cultural and social aspects of the Edo period. His portrayal of courtesans not only reflects the beauty standards and fashion of the time but also offers insight into the lives of women who were both admired and commodified in Japanese society.

As with many ukiyo-e prints, Eisen's work was produced through a collaborative process involving the artist, who designed the print; the carver, who cut the woodblocks; and the printer, who applied the ink and pressed the paper. "The Courtesan Shiratama from the Tamaya House" remains an important example of Eisen's artistic legacy and continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and historical value.
