A woodblock print by Ogata Gekko titled 'Geisha in Springtime', depicting a group of geishas enjoying the cherry blossoms. The print captures the essence of spring in Japan, with its delicate colours and serene atmosphere.
Ogata Gekko (1859-1920) was a Japanese artist of the Meiji period, known for his woodblock prints depicting scenes from daily life, historical events, and folklore. He initially trained as a textile dyer and designer, which influenced his keen eye for colour and pattern. Gekko's work bridges the gap between traditional Ukiyo-e and the emerging Shin-hanga movement, incorporating Western influences while maintaining Japanese artistic conventions. 'Geisha in Springtime' exemplifies Gekko's skill in capturing the atmosphere of a specific season. The print depicts a group of geishas enjoying a spring outing. One geisha holds a parasol, while others are seated, seemingly engaged in conversation or musical performance. Cherry blossoms frame the scene, adding to the feeling of renewal and transience associated with spring in Japanese culture. In the background, boats sail on the water, and a lone figure walks along the shore. The composition, colour palette, and subject matter are typical of Ukiyo-e prints aimed at a middle-class audience during the Meiji era.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
