Description

‘Courtesan Akashi in Tamaya’ from ‘Seiro Nana Komachi (seven Komachies of Yoshiwara)’ series by Utamaro.

Her hairlines are carved with the 'Yaege' technique, in which the hairs are arranged into groups. The 'kara-zuri' (空摺り) embossing technique on her collar adds to the richness and depth of the design.
