"Delighted" (Ureshiso) is a print from the celebrated series "Thirty-two Aspects of Women" (Fuzoku sanjuniso), published in 1888. The series presents women from different historical eras and social classes, each identified by a single emotional or behavioral state. Here, a woman radiates unguarded happiness—a rare expression of open joy in Yoshitoshi's typically more introspective female portraits. The careful attention to the woman's period-appropriate dress and the subtlety of her expression make this series one of the finest achievements in late [ukiyo-e](/glossary/ukiyo-e) [bijin-ga](/glossary/bijin-ga).
