Utamaro
Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro (1753-1806) was appreciated for his prints of beautiful women. In 1804, he depicted the military ruler Toyotomi Hideyoshi's wife and concubines, and was sentenced to be handcuffed for 50 days. This work makes a study of selected print sets, and reinterprets Utamaro in the context of his times.
