About the piece
Created around 1840, this painting by Teisai Hokuba—a prominent student of the legendary Hokusai—is a masterful example of 'bijin-ga' (pictures of beautiful women). The work captures five women in a moment of social repose, showcasing the sophisticated textile designs and ornamental hair accessories characteristic of the late Edo period's refined aesthetic.
