"Kisegawa of the Matsubaya" (Matsubaya Uchi Kisegawa) is a celebrated woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro, who is widely recognized for his bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women) during the Edo period. Utamaro, active in the late 18th century, is acclaimed for his ability to capture the subtleties of feminine beauty and the nuances of the human form, and "Kisegawa of the Matsubaya" is a quintessential example of his mastery.

The print depicts Kisegawa, a courtesan from the Matsubaya house, one of the esteemed establishments in the Yoshiwara pleasure district of Edo (modern-day Tokyo). The Yoshiwara district was a licensed red-light district, and its courtesans were often subjects of ukiyo-e artists, who sought to capture their elegance and allure. Kisegawa is portrayed with a serene and composed demeanor, her delicate features and elaborate hairstyle meticulously rendered, reflecting Utamaro's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the grace and poise of his subjects.

Utamaro's use of color and line in "Kisegawa of the Matsubaya" exemplifies the sophisticated techniques of ukiyo-e printmaking. The subtle gradations of color and the intricate patterns of Kisegawa's kimono highlight the artist's skill in creating depth and texture. The print not only serves as a visual delight but also provides a glimpse into the cultural and social milieu of the Edo period, particularly the world of the Yoshiwara courtesans, who were both celebrated and stigmatized in Japanese society.

"Kisegawa of the Matsubaya" is part of a larger body of work by Utamaro that explores the lives and beauty of women in Edo Japan. His prints remain highly valued by collectors and art historians, and they continue to influence contemporary perceptions of Japanese art and culture. Through works like this, Utamaro has left an indelible mark on the history of art, capturing the ephemeral beauty of his time with enduring elegance.
