Wikipedia definition
2. BijingaBijinga is a generic term for pictures of beautiful women in Japanese art, especially in woodblock printing of the ukiyo-e genre, which predate photography. The term can also be used for modern media, provided the image conforms to a somewhat classic representation of a woman, usually depicted wearing kimono. Nearly all ukiyo-e artists produced bijin-ga, it being one of the central themes of the genre.
