"A Tea-house in Ryogoku, from the series Bijin jūyō (Ten Female Figures) c.1797" is a notable woodblock print by the esteemed Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753–1806). This work is part of Utamaro's celebrated oeuvre that focuses on the beauty and elegance of women, a theme that dominated much of his artistic career. Created during the Edo period, a time when the ukiyo-e genre flourished in Japan, this print exemplifies Utamaro's mastery in portraying female figures with a delicate and nuanced touch.

The series "Bijin jūyō" is distinguished by its depiction of ten beautiful women engaged in various activities, reflecting the everyday life and cultural practices of the time. "A Tea-house in Ryogoku" specifically captures a moment within a tea-house, a common social setting in Edo (modern-day Tokyo), where individuals gathered for entertainment and leisure. Ryogoku was known for its sumo wrestling arena and was a bustling area filled with tea-houses and restaurants catering to spectators and visitors.

Utamaro's skill in using the woodblock printing technique is evident in the intricate details of the figures' clothing, the interior of the tea-house, and the subtle expressions on the women's faces. His use of line, color, and composition brings out the beauty and character of each figure, making them stand out as individuals while also harmonizing with the overall scene. This print, like many of Utamaro's works, showcases his ability to convey a sense of depth and perspective, a remarkable feat considering the limitations of the woodblock printing process.

"A Tea-house in Ryogoku" is not only a beautiful representation of Utamaro's artistry but also serves as a valuable historical document, offering insights into the social and cultural life of Edo-period Japan. It remains a significant piece within the genre of ukiyo-e and continues to be admired for its aesthetic qualities and its depiction of Japanese beauty and culture.
