BIJINGA 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 they conform to a somewhat classic representation of a woman, usually depicted wearing a kimono.
