This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to early 1830s Japan, specifically to the renowned district of New Yoshiwara (Shin Yoshiwara). The image is a color woodblock print created by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, a celebrated Japanese artist known for his mastery in this traditional technique. Measuring 24.5 x 36.9 cm, the print showcases Kuniyoshi's exceptional attention to detail and vibrant use of colors. The scene depicted in this artwork belongs to Kuniyoshi's Famous Places in the Eastern Capital series, which aimed to capture iconic locations within Tokyo during that time period. Here, we are presented with an enchanting view of New Yoshiwara, a famous pleasure quarter bustling with activity and entertainment. Through this composition, Kuniyoshi skillfully captures the essence of Shin Yoshiwara's lively atmosphere. Intricately dressed figures can be seen strolling along its streets adorned with lanterns and colorful banners. The architecture reflects both elegance and grandeur as teahouses and brothels line the alleys. This particular piece not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into Japanese history and culture during the Edo period.
