歌磨

 Still from 'Utamaro and His Five Women' (歌麿をめぐる五人の女 Utamaro o meguru gonin no onna), 1946, directed by Japanese filmmaker Mizoguchi Kenji (溝口 健二, 1898 – 1956). https://youtu.be/fiCbo9d1Q_4

It is based on the novel of the same title by Kanji Kunieda, itself a fictionalised account of the life of printmaker Kitagawa Utamaro (喜多川 歌麿; c. 1753 – 1806), one of the most highly regarded designers of ukiyo-e woodblock prints and paintings, who was best known for his bijin ōkubi-e (large-headed pictures of beautiful women) of the 1790s. He also produced nature studies, particularly illustrated books of insects.
