"Osen of the Kagiya Serving Tea to a Customer" is a notable woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu, a distinguished Japanese ukiyo-e artist active during the Edo period. Created in the 18th century, this piece exemplifies Harunobu's pioneering work in the development of full-color printing, known as nishiki-e. The print is part of a larger genre of ukiyo-e that depicts the everyday life and culture of Edo (modern-day Tokyo), focusing on the leisure activities of the urban middle class, courtesans, and kabuki actors.

The artwork portrays Osen, a famous tea-house waitress from the Kagiya establishment, engaging in the act of serving tea to a patron. Osen was a well-known beauty of her time and a popular subject in Harunobu's prints. The Kagiya was one of the leading tea houses in the pleasure quarters of Edo, and its staff, including Osen, were often depicted in ukiyo-e art due to their beauty and fashionable status.

Harunobu's print is characterized by its delicate lines, subtle use of color, and the serene, almost poetic atmosphere it evokes. The composition reflects the aesthetics of the Edo period, with an emphasis on grace, beauty, and a sense of transient pleasure. As with many of Harunobu's works, this print not only captures the physical likeness of its subject but also conveys the cultural and social nuances of the time.

"Osen of the Kagiya Serving Tea to a Customer" is significant for its artistic merit and for providing historical insight into the customs and lifestyles of 18th-century Japan. Harunobu's innovative techniques and his ability to infuse prints with elegance and narrative depth have cemented his reputation as a master of the ukiyo-e genre, and this print stands as a testament to his legacy. The piece remains an important work for scholars studying the ukiyo-e movement, as well as for enthusiasts of Japanese art and history.
