"Two Beauties, One Holding A Fan And Insect Cage, Odawara" is a notable woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro. This artwork is part of the series "Bijin Ichidai Gojusan Tsugi" (Beauties One By One: Comparisons of the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido), which is a collection that juxtaposes the famed Tokaido road's fifty-three stations with images of beautiful women, a common subject in Utamaro's oeuvre.

Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753 – 1806) is celebrated for his bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women) and is considered one of the most influential artists of the ukiyo-e genre. His works are distinguished by their delicate lines, graceful compositions, and the subtle yet expressive portrayal of feminine beauty. Utamaro's ability to capture the nuances of women's expressions and postures has earned him a lasting legacy in the history of Japanese art.

In "Two Beauties, One Holding A Fan And Insect Cage, Odawara," Utamaro presents a scene featuring two women, one of whom is holding a fan and an insect cage. The setting is linked to Odawara, one of the stations on the Tokaido, a vital route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto. The Tokaido was not only a significant travel route but also a cultural symbol, often depicted in Japanese art and literature.

The print exemplifies Utamaro's skill in rendering intricate details and textures, from the delicate patterns on the women's kimonos to the fine lines of their hair. The inclusion of the fan and insect cage adds a layer of narrative and seasonal reference, as insect collecting was a popular pastime in Japan during the summer months.

Utamaro's series, including this particular print, reflects the Edo period's fascination with travel, beauty, and the everyday lives of women. It also underscores the period's artistic innovation and the flourishing of ukiyo-e as a popular art form. "Two Beauties, One Holding A Fan And Insect Cage, Odawara" remains a testament to Utamaro's artistic prowess and his contribution to the cultural tapestry of Japan.
