On the left side, we are introduced to "An impertinent woman" from the series Kyokun oya no megane (Education Seen Through the Parents Eyes), created around 1803. The image portrays a female figure who exudes confidence and defiance, challenging societal norms with her audacious demeanor. On the right side of this remarkable composition, we encounter "Asahiya Goke the widow" from the series Komei bijin rokkasen dating back to approximately 1796. This woodblock print depicts a grieving widow who emanates both strength and vulnerability simultaneously. Her sorrowful expression captures our attention as we contemplate her story and journey through life.

The juxtaposition of these two prints invites viewers to reflect on themes such as morality, femininity, and societal expectations prevalent during that era.

This photograph not only preserves Utamaro's artistic legacy but also allows us to appreciate his profound influence on
