Kisegawa of Matsubaya is a prominent work from the series "Seven Komachis of Yoshiwara," created around 1795 by the esteemed Japanese ukiyo-e artist Kitagawa Utamaro. This series is a celebrated example of the ukiyo-e genre, which flourished during the Edo period (1603-1868) and is renowned for its woodblock prints and paintings that depict the hedonistic lifestyle of the merchant class, including beautiful courtesans, kabuki actors, and scenes from everyday life.

Utamaro, who is particularly famous for his bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women), captures the elegance and allure of Kisegawa, a courtesan from the Matsubaya house in Yoshiwara, the licensed red-light district of Edo (modern-day Tokyo). The "Seven Komachis of Yoshiwara" series draws inspiration from the legendary beauty and poet Ono no Komachi, reimagining her in the context of the Yoshiwara courtesans, each representing a different aspect of Komachi's life and attributes.

In this particular work, Utamaro's mastery is evident in his delicate lines, sophisticated use of color, and the intricate patterns of Kisegawa's kimono. The artist's ability to convey the subtleties of feminine beauty and the complex emotions of his subjects has made his works highly revered. Kisegawa is depicted with an air of grace and poise, her serene expression and elegant posture reflecting the refined yet ephemeral nature of her profession.

Utamaro's portrayal of Kisegawa not only highlights her physical beauty but also offers a glimpse into the cultural and social dynamics of the Edo period. The attention to detail in her attire and the surrounding elements provides valuable insights into the fashion, aesthetics, and the hierarchical structure of the Yoshiwara district. This work, like many of Utamaro's pieces, serves as a historical document that enriches our understanding of Japanese art and society during this vibrant era.
