Kitagawa Utamaro was a painter and print maker, of whose life little is known. We do not know were he was born Japan or when, but probably around 1753. His original name was Kitagawa Ichitaro. He is considered one of the greatest Ukiyo-e artists, being specially known by his portraits of beautiful women, or bijin-ga.

It is generally considered that Utamaro was, since his childhood and until 1788, a disciple of the painter Toriyama Sekien, although others consider Sekien to be Utamaro's father. It seems that Sekien, originally trained by the painting school of Kano, seems to have tended in later years towards the popular Ukiyo-e school.

Description: Original piece made by Utamaro, as is appreciated in the pictures the texture of the paper showing the authenticity of the same.
