"Courtesans Strolling Beneath Cherry Trees, c.1789" is a celebrated woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753–1806). This work is part of Utamaro's oeuvre that focuses on the bijin-ga genre, which depicts beautiful women, often courtesans or geishas, in everyday or idyllic settings. Created around 1789, this print is emblematic of Utamaro's mastery in capturing the elegance and subtleties of female beauty, as well as his innovative use of line and color that set new standards in the ukiyo-e genre.

The print features a group of courtesans, women who were both entertainers and companions, taking a leisurely stroll beneath the blossoming cherry trees, a scene that evokes the transient beauty of both the flowers and the women's youth. The cherry blossom, or sakura, holds profound symbolism in Japanese culture, representing the fleeting nature of life and beauty, themes that are poignantly reflected in the lives of the courtesans themselves.

Utamaro's work is distinguished by its delicate and refined portrayal of the courtesans, with attention to the intricate patterns and textures of their kimonos, and the graceful poise of their figures against the backdrop of the cherry blossoms. The composition of the print, with its use of perspective and space, showcases Utamaro's skill in creating depth and narrative within the confines of the woodblock print medium.

"Courtesans Strolling Beneath Cherry Trees" is not only a masterpiece of Utamaro's artistic legacy but also a valuable cultural artifact that offers insight into the Edo period's societal norms, fashion, and aesthetics. The print remains a testament to the enduring appeal of the ukiyo-e tradition and its capacity to capture and convey the ephemeral beauty of the natural and human world.
