"Woman Surrounded by Calligraphy" is a woodblock print by Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Toyokuni III, who was a prolific and influential ukiyo-e artist of the late Edo period in Japan. This particular print is notable for its fusion of portraiture with calligraphy, a common practice in ukiyo-e that reflects the integration of visual and literary arts in Japanese culture. Created in the 19th century, the artwork features a bijin-ga, a genre of prints that depicts beautiful women, which was a popular subject in Kunisada's work.

The print showcases a woman, likely a courtesan or a geisha, as the central figure, exquisitely dressed in traditional attire, surrounded by elegant calligraphic text. The calligraphy may include poems, excerpts from literature, or patrons' names, which was a common way to fund the production of prints. The juxtaposition of the woman's image with the calligraphy not only highlights the aesthetic beauty of both art forms but also suggests a narrative or thematic connection between the text and the image.

Kunisada was known for his mastery of the ukiyo-e technique, and his prints are characterized by their vivid colors, intricate patterns, and expressive faces. "Woman Surrounded by Calligraphy" exemplifies these qualities, demonstrating the artist's skill in capturing the beauty and fashion of the Edo period's urban culture. The print is a testament to Kunisada's ability to blend traditional Japanese aesthetics with the popular tastes of his time, making his works highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese art.

As with many ukiyo-e prints, "Woman Surrounded by Calligraphy" would have been produced through a collaborative process involving the artist, carvers, printers, and publishers. This collaborative nature is a hallmark of the ukiyo-e tradition, which allowed for the mass production of prints and their widespread distribution among the urban populace of Edo (modern-day Tokyo).

Today, "Woman Surrounded by Calligraphy" is considered an important work within Utagawa Kunisada's oeuvre and serves as a valuable historical document that offers insights into the cultural and artistic practices of 19th-century Japan. It is preserved and studied by art historians, and can be found in museum collections, as well as in private hands, around the world.
