"The Courtesan of Eguchi as the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra (Fugen)" is a notable woodblock print by the Japanese artist Ogata Gekkō, created during the Meiji period. This work is part of a genre known as ukiyo-e, which translates to "pictures of the floating world" and typically features subjects from the pleasure quarters, kabuki theatre, and natural landscapes. Ogata Gekkō, active from the late 19th to the early 20th century, was known for his distinctive style that often blended traditional Japanese techniques with Western influences.

In this particular print, Gekkō portrays a courtesan from the Eguchi pleasure district, which was famous during the medieval period in Japan. The courtesan is depicted in the guise of the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, known in Japanese as Fugen Bosatsu, who represents the practice and meditation aspect of Buddhism and is often associated with the Lotus Sutra. The juxtaposition of a courtesan with a revered religious figure is a reflection of the complex interplay between the sacred and the profane in Edo-period culture and art.

The artwork is significant for its intricate detailing, use of color, and the way it captures the cultural and religious symbolism of the time. It is also an example of how ukiyo-e artists would elevate everyday subjects to a higher plane through allegory and metaphor. "The Courtesan of Eguchi as the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra (Fugen)" is not only a representation of Gekkō's artistic skill but also an important cultural artifact that offers insight into the societal norms and spiritual beliefs of Meiji-era Japan.

As a piece of art history, this print contributes to the understanding of the evolution of Japanese woodblock printing and the ways in which artists like Ogata Gekkō navigated the changing tides of Japanese aesthetics and cultural identity during a time of rapid modernization. It remains a subject of interest for scholars studying the intersection of religion, art, and gender in Japanese history.
