EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Number two snow clothes Koromode Wakanaya Yukiwake no Wakanaya uchi Koromode" takes us back to the vibrant streets of Yoshiwara, the pleasure district of Edo (present-day Tokyo) in 1827. The image showcases Koromode, a high-ranking courtesan from the esteemed Wakanaya house, elegantly strolling along Nakanocho, the main street adorned with New Year's decorations. Accompanying her are a maid (kamuro) and another courtesan dressed in a striking black kimono. The scene is beautifully captured through a color woodcut technique on paper measuring 206 mm in height and 184 mm in width. The photograph is part of a larger five-part painting that features high courtesans (oiran) from various houses within Yoshiwara. Each page tells its own story, offering glimpses into the lives and experiences of these fascinating women. Notably mentioned on this second page is Yashima Gakutei, an acclaimed artist known for his depictions of courtesans and hetaera. His skillful brushwork brings life to every detail, immersing viewers in the opulent world of Edo-era Japan. As we admire this exquisite artwork from the Liszt Collection, we can't help but appreciate how it captures both the beauty and complexity of Yoshiwara's society during that time. It serves as a reminder of Japan's rich cultural heritage and offers us an intriguing glimpse into one aspect of its history.
