Bijinga

Original - Kitagawa Utamaro, "Ase o fuku onna" (woman wiping sweat), 1798.

Reason

Bijinga refers to beautiful women in Japanese art, particularly ukiyo-e woodblock printing. Kitagawa Utamaro was one of the most important artists in the genre and we're fortunate to have a very high resolution example of his work. Restored version of File:Ase o fuku onna.jpg.
