"Geisha and Attendant on a Rainy Night" is a notable woodblock print by the esteemed Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753 – 1806). Utamaro was a prominent figure in the ukiyo-e genre of Japanese art, which flourished during the Edo period (1603–1868). His works are particularly renowned for their delicate and expressive portrayals of women, capturing the subtleties of their emotions and the intricacies of their daily lives.

This particular print is part of Utamaro's oeuvre that focuses on the bijin-ga, or "pictures of beautiful women," a genre that depicts female beauties from various walks of life, often in an idealized manner. "Geisha and Attendant on a Rainy Night" illustrates a scene of a geisha, a professional female entertainer known for her artistic skills and cultural refinement, accompanied by her attendant (kamuro), a young girl in training to become a geisha herself. The artwork captures the pair traversing a rainy evening, likely on their way to or from an engagement in the pleasure quarters.

The composition of the print is characterized by the use of bold lines and a limited color palette, which was typical of the ukiyo-e style. The geisha is depicted with traditional attire and hairstyle, her elegant posture and the flow of her garments suggesting movement through the inclement weather. The attendant, often portrayed as smaller and less adorned, follows closely, carrying items that may be necessary for the geisha's performance or comfort.

Utamaro's skill in portraying the textures of fabrics, the softness of skin, and the atmospheric conditions of the scene is evident in this work. The print is a testament to his mastery of the medium and his ability to convey a narrative through visual elements. "Geisha and Attendant on a Rainy Night" is not only a reflection of the cultural and artistic practices of the Edo period but also an example of Utamaro's enduring legacy in the history of Japanese art.

As with many ukiyo-e prints, "Geisha and Attendant on a Rainy Night" would have been produced through a collaborative process involving the artist, who designed the image; the carver, who cut the woodblocks; and the printer, who applied the ink and pressed the paper. The print's historical context, production techniques, and aesthetic qualities contribute to its significance as a cultural artifact and work of art. It remains an important piece for scholars studying Japanese art history, gender representation in art, and the ukiyo-e tradition.
