EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning double page illustration, titled "Four Courtesans of Various Houses" from the book "Mirror of Beautiful Women of the Pleasure Quarters" (Seiro bijin awase sugata kagami), created by the renowned artist Shunsho in 1776, offers a captivating glimpse into the world of Edo period courtesans and their distinctive fashion. The print, part of the Katsukawa School, showcases four elegant women, each representing different courtesan houses, seated on a dais against a backdrop of lush greenery. The women are dressed in exquisite kimonos, their vibrant attire contrasting against the muted green and olive tones of their surroundings. The courtesan on the left wears a pink kimono adorned with roses, while the one on the right dons an olive green dress with intricate patterns. The other two women are dressed in similar elegant attire, their kimonos featuring delicate designs in shades of pink and green. The courtesans are shown in a relaxed and natural pose, their expressions conveying a sense of refinement and sophistication. The attention to detail in the print is remarkable, from the intricate patterns on their kimonos to the delicate folds of their clothing. This double page illustration is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of Shunsho and the Katsukawa School during the Edo period. It provides a fascinating insight into the world of courtesans and their fashion during this time, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of Asian art or literature.
