Paintings with subject matter of interest to women, particularly romances such as the Tale of Genji. There are few if any contemporary definitions of the term, resulting in ambiguity about the style of painting or the gender of the artists creating these works. This term was used in the Heian period (794-1185). For paintings or prints that depict the beauty of women, see also "bijinga," a term coined in the Edo (1615-1868) or Meiji (1868-1912) period.

Chinese (traditional)....	以女性為主題的繪畫，特別是《源氏物語》等愛情故事為題材者，由於現今此詞彙的定義罕見，因此關於這類畫作的風格，或創作者的性別仍然不明；此詞彙主要用於日本平安時代（西元749至1185年），至於描繪美麗女子的繪畫或版畫，則稱為「美人畫」，該詞彙始見於江戶時代（西元1615至1868年）或明治時代（西元1868至1912年）。
