A woman drawing on a long pipe is the focus of this Japanese woodblock print, a figure type that appears often in the ukiyo-e tradition of the Edo period (1603 to 1868). Prints of this kind were produced in large editions for a broad urban public, and figures like this one served as fashion, beauty and everyday-life subjects rather than portraits of specific people. Notice the flat areas of color, the bold outlines and the attention to patterned textiles, all hallmarks of the woodblock process, in which each color was carved into its own block and printed in turn.
