The term "Kanbun Beauty" (Kanbun bijin) refers to a specific style of early ukiyo-e painting that emerged during the Kanbun era (1661–1673), typically featuring a single standing woman against a neutral background. While the specific artist for this scroll is unknown, the style was a precursor to the work of Hishikawa Moronobu, who is often celebrated as the founder of ukiyo-e.
