EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning double page illustration, titled "Courtesans of the Yamashiroya," is a color woodblock print created by the renowned artist Shunsho in 1776. Part of the "Mirror of Beautiful Women of the Pleasure Quarters" series, this print showcases a group of elegant courtesans from the Yamashiroya district of Edo, Japan. Each woman is depicted in intricate detail, wearing beautiful kimonos adorned with delicate patterns and vibrant colors, such as pink and rose hues. One courtesan plays a musical instrument, adding to the lively atmosphere of the scene. The courtesans are seated in a serene setting, surrounded by lush greenery and a tranquil pond, reflecting the refined taste and sophistication of the pleasure quarters during the Edo period. This print is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of Shunsho and the Katsukawa School, which flourished during the eighteenth century in Japan. The meticulous attention to detail and the captivating composition make this print a valuable piece of Asian art and cultural heritage.
