"Teahouse Waitress Reading a Love Letter" is a Japanese woodblock print (ukiyo-e) by Kikukawa Eizan, a prominent artist of the late Edo period. Created during the Tenpo era (1830-1844), this artwork is part of Eizan's oeuvre that focuses on bijinga, or pictures of beautiful women, which was a popular genre in ukiyo-e. The print depicts a young waitress, likely from a teahouse, engrossed in reading a love letter, a common theme that reflects the romantic and often idealized portrayal of women's private lives during the period.

Eizan's work is characterized by its elegant and graceful figures, with a particular emphasis on fashion and textiles, which is evident in the intricate patterns and colors of the waitress's kimono. The print captures the intimate moment of the waitress's emotional engagement with the letter, a narrative device that invites the viewer to speculate about the content of the correspondence and the nature of her relationship with the sender.

As a student of the renowned ukiyo-e master Katsukawa Shun'ei, Eizan developed his own style while also being influenced by the works of other great artists like Utamaro and Eishi. His prints, including "Teahouse Waitress Reading a Love Letter," contributed to the rich tapestry of Edo-period visual culture and offer insight into the customs and fashions of the time.

This particular piece is significant for its representation of Edo-period aesthetics and social customs, as well as for its contribution to the understanding of the role of women in Japanese art and society. The print remains an important artifact for scholars studying the Edo period and the evolution of ukiyo-e, as well as for enthusiasts of Japanese art and history.
