Fujin Sōgaku Jittai and Fujo Ninsō Juppin

Fujin Sōgaku Jittai (婦人相学十躰, "Ten physiognomies of women") and Fujo Ninsō Juppin (婦女人相十品, "Ten classes of women's physiognomy") are the titles of what may have been two series of ukiyo-e prints designed by the Japanese artist Utamaro and published c. 1792–93. Only five prints from one series and four from the other survive, and one print appears in both series, so that eight distinct prints are known. The two series may have been made up of the same prints, or they may have been the same series with a title change partway through publication. Utamaro had another series published c. 1801–1804 titled Fujin Sōgaku Jittai (婦人相学拾躰). This series is made of different prints from the earlier one, and is known to have had all ten prints in the set published.
