EDITORS COMMENTS
Courtesans of the Matsubaya" is a stunning double-page illustration from the 1776 book "Mirror of Beautiful Women of the Pleasure Quarters" by the renowned Japanese artist Shunsho. This exquisite color woodblock print showcases four elegant courtesans from the Matsubaya brothel, located in the Yoshiwara district of Edo, Japan during the eighteenth century. The courtesans are depicted in intricately designed kimonos, their clothing adorned with vibrant patterns and rich colors, including a striking pink hue that symbolizes prosperity and happiness in Japanese culture. The courtesans' attire reflects the latest fashion trends of the time, demonstrating the artistic innovation and skill of the Katsukawa School, to which Shunsho belonged. The illustration captures the allure and enigma of the courtesans, who were renowned for their beauty, grace, and artistic talents. The courtesans' faces are veiled in secrecy, adding to their mystique and allure. The print also highlights the intense rivalry among courtesans to outshine one another, as each woman strives to be the most desirable and sought-after in the pleasure quarters. The intricate details of the print, from the delicate patterns on the kimonos to the delicate folds of the fabric, demonstrate Shunsho's mastery of the woodblock printing technique. The print also showcases the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period, providing a glimpse into the lives of the courtesans and the society they inhabited. This beautiful work of art is a testament to the artistic brilliance of Shunsho and the Katsukawa School, and remains an enduring symbol of Japanese art and culture.
