Beauties by Maruyama School refers to a genre of ukiyo-e paintings and prints that emerged from the Maruyama School of Japanese painting during the Edo period. The Maruyama School, founded by Maruyama Ōkyo (1733–1795), was known for its innovative approach to art, blending traditional Japanese techniques with Western realism. This school of art significantly influenced the depiction of beauty, landscapes, and everyday life in Japanese art, setting new standards for realism and naturalism.

The "Beauties" or "Bijinga" created by artists of the Maruyama School are characterized by their refined and realistic portrayal of women, often highlighting the elegance and grace of courtesans, geishas, and women of various social standings. These artworks not only capture the physical beauty of their subjects but also convey the cultural and aesthetic ideals of the time. Artists associated with the Maruyama School, and its later derivative, the Shijō School, focused on the use of light and shadow, detailed expressions, and the incorporation of nature into their compositions, making their portrayal of women distinct from the more stylized figures seen in earlier ukiyo-e prints.

The influence of Maruyama Ōkyo's teachings and techniques can be seen in the works of his students and followers, such as Matsumura Goshun, who founded the Shijō School, further evolving the style and themes of the Maruyama School's beauties. These artworks not only serve as a testament to the artistic achievements of the Maruyama School but also offer insights into the cultural and societal norms of the Edo period.

Beauties by Maruyama School hold a significant place in the history of Japanese art, representing a pivotal moment of transition and innovation. They continue to be celebrated for their contribution to the development of ukiyo-e and Japanese art as a whole, embodying the delicate balance between tradition and innovation that characterizes the era.
