Ukiyo-e Jigsaw Puzzle (252 / 520-piece): “Woman Holding a Tortoise-Shell Comb” by Kitagawa Utamaro | Bijin-ga / Edo Beauty Portrait

Step into the refined world of Edo-period elegance through this premium ukiyo-e jigsaw puzzle featuring Kitagawa Utamaro’s iconic masterpiece, “Woman Holding a Tortoise-Shell Comb.”

Utamaro captures a private and poetic moment of feminine beauty — a woman pausing with a tortoise-shell hair comb (tsuge-gushi) raised gently to her lips.
Her expression is calm and introspective, as if caught between thought and emotion. The subtle posture, the curve of her fingers, and the quiet sensuality of her neckline all exemplify Utamaro’s unparalleled ability to portray inner beauty rather than outward theatrics.

Behind her, a lush brocade-patterned backdrop blooms with florals, symbolizing glamour and the allure of pleasure districts.
While the scene is intimate, it is not provocative — it is a celebration of elegance, dignity, and the timeless rituals of beauty.

Now transformed into a luxury-quality jigsaw puzzle, this Edo classic offers a meditative and artistic building experience worthy of display.
