ASIA WEEK AUTUMN 2023
Ten Types in the Physiognomic Study of Women
For Asia Week Autumn 2023, we are pleased to present Ten Types in the Physiognomic Study of Women by Kanso Utamaro. This series of ten half-length portraits describes women’s characteristics based on their appearance or physiognomy. The woman in Kiseru (Pipe) has paused in the middle of arranging her hair to have a quick smoke from her kiseru (pipe). The inscription reads: “She is amiable with an obviously gentle nature. Her affection is of the deepest kind and she is like a willow blowing in the wind, or river grass flowing with the current”. Smoking was introduced in Japan in the late 1500’s, and with expensive tobacco and finely crafted paraphernalia, smoking became a signal of high status.
