Kitagawa Utamaro
Around 1753 - 1806
Utamaro excelled at painting “beauties,” depicting delicate and beautiful women, and left behind a large number of works.
He developed a technique of eliminating the background in order to express the beauty of women, and his simple, sensual, and emotionally rich depictions of human facial expressions were well received.
The woman who modeled for him subsequently attracted the attention of the entire city of Edo, and Utamaro's ability to communicate his ideas was tremendous.
He was imprisoned by the Tokugawa shogunate, which took notice of his work. After the opening of Japan to the outside world, many of Utamaro's paintings were exported to foreign countries, where they are still kept in strict custody in museums overseas.

What is the secret behind the popularity of Utamaro's paintings of beautiful women?
Utamaro captured the hearts of Ukiyo-e fans with his compositions that show off women more prominently, such as the composition of only the upper half of the body and the omission of the background, which were previously the norm for full-length paintings of beautiful women.
In contrast to the bold compositions, the detailed and beautiful patterns of the hair and kimonos are so intricate that one can never get tired of looking at them.
It is said that the models' props, kimonos, and hairstyles were all skillfully adapted to the fashion of the time and became a fashion guide for women of the world.
He used paints made of mica, or instead of using paints, he rubbed the paper hard against the plate to express patterns with embossed unevenness, and continued to confront the possibilities of his own work until his later years.
