EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Number three: the New Year sky with Chitose from Tsuruya San" takes us back to Edo, present-day Tokyo, in 1827. The image showcases the bustling Nakanocho street in Yoshiwara, the renowned pleasure quarter of that era. In this scene, we witness Chitose, a senior courtesan from the esteemed Tsuruya house, gracefully strolling alongside a courtesan in training (shinzo) and a maid (kamuro). They navigate through vibrant New Year decorations adorning Nakanocho's main thoroughfare. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as people revel in the festivities. The exquisite woodcut technique used to create this artwork brings out its intricate details and vivid colors. It is part of a larger series by Yashima Gakutei for the Hisakataya poetry association. This particular page is one of five depicting high-standing courtesans (oiran) from various houses within Yoshiwara. Accompanying this visually stunning piece are two poems that further enhance its allure. Together, they capture the essence of elegance and beauty that permeated Japan's traditional entertainment districts during this period. As we gaze upon this historical gem captured on paper over two centuries ago, we are transported to an enchanting world where tradition meets artistry and celebration intertwines with gracefulness.
