"Wakaume of the Tamaya in Edo-cho Itchome, [Kamuro] Mumeno, Iroka" is a renowned woodblock print by the celebrated Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753–1806). This work is part of Utamaro's extensive oeuvre of bijinga, or pictures of beautiful women, which often depicted the courtesans and geishas of the Yoshiwara district in Edo (modern-day Tokyo). Created during the Edo period, a time characterized by strict social orders and a flourishing urban culture, Utamaro's prints are celebrated for their elegant portrayal of female beauty and the subtleties of their expressions and postures.

The print features Wakaume, a courtesan from the Tamaya brothel, located in the first district of Edo. She is accompanied by her kamuro, young girls named Mumeno and Iroka, who are in training to become courtesans themselves. Kamuro typically assisted and attended to higher-ranking courtesans, learning the arts and customs of the pleasure quarters. In this particular piece, Utamaro showcases his mastery of line and color, as well as his ability to convey the intricate details of the subjects' clothing and hairstyles, which were significant indicators of status and fashion during the Edo period.

Utamaro's work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its documentary value, providing insights into the lives of women and the culture of the pleasure quarters during this historical period. "Wakaume of the Tamaya in Edo-cho Itchome, [Kamuro] Mumeno, Iroka" is a prime example of Utamaro's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects, making it an important piece in the study of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries.

As a prominent figure in the world of ukiyo-e, Utamaro's influence extended beyond his lifetime, with his works continuing to be celebrated for their beauty and cultural significance. This print remains an important artifact of Japanese art history and is studied and admired by art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
