In his later years, Utamaro became captivated by the courtesans and bijin of the Yoshiwara district. He made their faces the focus of the print, often picturing them from the side in a bust portrait known as an okubi-e. He concentrated on expressing the emotion, beauty and character of the ladies portrayed.
