Artwork designed and digitally remastered by Sarasvati Designs. “Drying and Stretching Cloth” is a woodblock print created around 1797–1798 by the celebrated Japanese ukiyo-e master Kitagawa Utamaro. This print belongs to Utamaro’s renowned bijin-ga tradition, a genre dedicated to portraying beautiful women in scenes of daily life. Here, the artist depicts women engaged in the traditional practice of drying and stretching cloth—likely kimono fabric—with extraordinary grace and subtlety. Utamaro’s refined linework, elegance of composition, and ability to capture the quiet beauty of everyday routines make this piece a timeless example of Edo-period artistry.
