"Two Bijin-e - Ki No Tomonori From The Series Sanju-rokkasen Dojokyokun Kagami" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861). This print is part of a larger series titled "Sanju-rokkasen Dojokyokun Kagami," which translates to "Mirror of the Teachings of the Thirty-six Poetic Immortals." The series is a fusion of didactic themes with the popular bijin-ga genre, which depicts beautiful women.

The print features two bijin (beautiful women) alongside the depiction of Ki no Tomonori, who was one of the historical Sanjūrokkasen, the Thirty-six Poetic Immortals of Japan. These immortals were a group of medieval poets whose works were celebrated for their skill and impact on Japanese literature, particularly waka poetry.

Kuniyoshi, known for his imaginative and often humorous works, brings his distinctive style to this piece. The print showcases his ability to blend traditional Japanese subjects with vibrant, dynamic compositions. The bijin-e element of the artwork reflects Kuniyoshi's skill in portraying female beauty, while the inclusion of Ki no Tomonori pays homage to Japan's rich poetic history.

The series to which this print belongs is reflective of the Edo period's (1603–1868) cultural emphasis on education and moral instruction, as well as the era's fascination with the classical past. By combining the didactic elements with the popular bijin-ga, Kuniyoshi created a work that is both visually appealing and culturally significant.

As with many ukiyo-e prints, "Two Bijin-e - Ki No Tomonori" was likely produced through collaboration with skilled woodblock carvers and printers, a common practice in the production of Japanese woodblock prints. The print is an example of the color woodblock printing technique that was perfected during the Edo period, known for its intricate detail and use of multiple blocks to achieve a range of colors and effects.

Utagawa Kuniyoshi's works are celebrated for their artistic merit and are collected and studied for their contributions to the ukiyo-e genre. "Two Bijin-e - Ki No Tomonori" is a testament to Kuniyoshi's legacy as one of the great masters of Japanese woodblock printing.
