Torii Kiyonaga (1752–1815) was a prominent Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the Torii school, renowned for his elegant and refined depictions of bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women) and kabuki actors. Among his notable works is "Hashira," a term that refers to pillar prints, or narrow vertical woodblock prints that were typically used to decorate the wooden pillars of traditional Japanese homes. These prints, also known as hashira-e, were a distinctive format in the ukiyo-e genre, characterized by their tall and slender dimensions, usually around 70 cm in height and 12 cm in width.

Kiyonaga's "Hashira" prints are celebrated for their exquisite composition and the artist's masterful use of line and color. His works often feature graceful courtesans, actors, and scenes from daily life, rendered with a keen attention to detail and a sophisticated sense of design. Kiyonaga's ability to capture the subtleties of human expression and the intricate patterns of kimono fabrics set his hashira-e apart from those of his contemporaries.

The Torii school, to which Kiyonaga belonged, was originally founded by Torii Kiyomoto in the late 17th century and was known for its strong association with kabuki theater. Kiyonaga, however, expanded the school's repertoire by incorporating more bijin-ga and genre scenes into his oeuvre. His hashira-e prints are a testament to his versatility and his contribution to the evolution of ukiyo-e during the Edo period.

Kiyonaga's influence extended beyond his lifetime, as his works continued to inspire subsequent generations of ukiyo-e artists. His hashira-e prints remain highly regarded for their artistic merit and historical significance, offering a glimpse into the cultural and aesthetic values of Edo-period Japan.
