"The Tea House Waitress Ohisa" is a renowned woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro (1753–1806), a prominent Japanese artist known for his portraits of beautiful women, or bijinga, during the Edo period. This print is part of Utamaro's larger body of work that captures the life and beauty of the women of Edo (modern-day Tokyo), particularly those who lived and worked in the pleasure districts.

The artwork features Ohisa, a popular waitress from the tea house Takashima in the district of Odenma-cho. She is depicted with the grace and elegance characteristic of Utamaro's style, her beauty accentuated by the intricate patterns of her kimono and her delicate features. The print is a half-length portrait, a format that Utamaro mastered, allowing him to focus on the subtleties of expression and the fine details of hairstyle and clothing that convey the subject's social status and personality.

"The Tea House Waitress Ohisa" is celebrated for its exquisite line work and the use of a limited color palette, which was typical of the nishiki-e, or "brocade pictures," of the time. Utamaro's skillful use of line and color creates a sense of depth and texture, making the image appear both flat and three-dimensional.

As a work of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries, this print reflects the transient world of fleeting pleasures and beauty, a theme central to the cultural fabric of the Edo period. Utamaro's prints, including "The Tea House Waitress Ohisa," were highly sought after during his lifetime and continue to be celebrated for their artistic merit and cultural significance.

"The Tea House Waitress Ohisa" is not only a testament to Utamaro's mastery of the woodblock printing technique but also provides a window into the customs and fashions of Edo-period Japan. The print remains an important piece in the study of Japanese art and has been featured in various exhibitions and collections around the world, contributing to Utamaro's enduring legacy as one of the great masters of ukiyo-e.
