Beauty of the Manji Era is another masterpiece from Kobayashi Kiyochika’s Flower Patterns series, depicting the elegance and charm of women from the Manji period (1658–1661). The figure is dressed in a beautifully detailed kimono, reflecting the stylistic trends of the time. The soft brushwork and gentle color palette give the painting a delicate, almost dreamlike quality. Kiyochika’s ability to blend historical context with artistic finesse is evident, as he captures both the beauty of the subject and the cultural essence of the Manji era.
