New Ukiyo E Beauties September Tipsy

An oban woodblock print from the "New Ukiyo-e Beauties" series, assigned to the month of September and subtitled "Tipsy." The image portrays a beautiful woman in a state of mild intoxication, a subject with deep roots in bijin-ga tradition where artists explored the full range of feminine moods and moments. Kamoshita Choko captures the slight flush and loosened composure of the figure, whose relaxed posture and expression convey the warmth of sake on an early autumn evening. The September assignment ties the scene to the transitional season when summer heat gives way to cooler nights.
