He is regarded as a master of ukiyo-e woodblock prints and primarily produced bijin-ga or pictures of beautiful women. His compositions and bold, black lines of his portraiture inspired European Impressionist and Post-impressionist artists such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Edgar Degas, and Claude Monet. Prints in good condition by Utamaro that have survived the ages and elements are quite rare and highly sought after by collectors worldwide. Designs from Utamaro’s extensive oeuvre can be found in museum collections such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The British Museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.

This print is from Utamaro’s series "Women Engaged in the Seculture Industry," published between c.1798-1800. The twelve-work series illustrates the process of silk production, traditionally done by women. It is from the first edition, published by Tsuruya Kiemon, which differs drastically in quality and detail when compared to posthumous editions that were issued starting in the late 19th century. Other impressions of this design are held in the collection of the The British Museum and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
