"From the Series Negai No Itoguchi" (translated as "Entrance to the Yoshiwara") is a series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753 – 1806). Utamaro is celebrated for his portraits of beautiful women, known as bijin-ga, and his work is characterized by a delicate and refined aesthetic that captures the elegance and subtleties of Edo-period (1603-1868) femininity.

The series depicts the Yoshiwara, the famous pleasure district of Edo (present-day Tokyo), focusing on the courtesans and the intricate world they inhabited. Yoshiwara was a sanctioned area where courtesans were both entertainers and artists, trained in a variety of arts such as classical music, dance, and poetry. "Negai No Itoguchi" offers a glimpse into the lives of these women, their beauty, fashion, and the complex social structures of the pleasure quarters.

Utamaro's mastery in portraying the human figure, his use of line, and his attention to pattern and detail are evident in this series. His work often reflects the cultural and artistic milieu of the time, and "From the Series Negai No Itoguchi" is no exception. It provides valuable insights into the cultural practices, costumes, and daily life of the Edo period.

The prints from this series are considered important examples of Utamaro's mature period, where his style had fully developed and he enjoyed great popularity. They are highly regarded for their artistic quality and historical value, contributing significantly to the understanding of Japanese art and the ukiyo-e genre.

The series is a testament to Utamaro's legacy as one of the most influential ukiyo-e artists, whose work continues to be studied and admired for its beauty and historical significance. "From the Series Negai No Itoguchi" remains a quintessential representation of Utamaro's artistry and the rich cultural tapestry of the Edo period in Japan.
