喜多川歌麿「婦女人相十品 ビードロを吹く娘」アダチ版復刻浮世絵

Girl Blowing a Glass Toy -Ten Physiognomic Aspects of Women-

This portrait shows a healthy young woman with a Taka-shimada coiffure, playing with a glass toy, known as a biidoro. This thin glass object has a bulb covered with a thin diaphragm at one end and a pipe at the other. When the pipe is blown or sucked the diaphragm makes soft popping sound. The women dose not appear to belong any particular social classification.

Utamaro stayed with the great publisher Tsutaya Juzaburo and made illustrations for kibyoshi and sharebon books. Influenced by Kitao Shigemasa and Torii Kiyonaga, he began to draw full-length portraits in the Tenmei era (1781-89). Later on, during 1790-91, Utamaro established his own style depicting three-quarter portraits of the beauties. His work became very popular because of his vivid new way of reproducing beauties, and his reputation as a master artist was established.
