Bijinga

Bijinga

Bijinga (美人画) is a generic term for pictures of beautiful women in Japanese art, especially in woodblock printing of the "ukiyo-e" genre, which predate photography. The term can also be used for modern media, provided they conform to a somewhat classic representation of a woman, usually depicted wearing a kimono.

Nearly all "ukiyo-e" artists produced "bijinga", it being one of the central themes of the genre. However, a few, including Utamaro, Suzuki Harunobu, Toyohara Chikanobu, and Torii Kiyonaga are widely regarded as the greatest innovators and masters of the form.
