東京名所六ケ撰の内 吉原
Yoshiwara, from Six Famous Places of Tokyo
Small white flowers are scattered over a pale blue kimono. In this Meiji-era bijinga (picture of a beautiful woman), a Western-style building with a tower is drawn in faint ink lines behind the woman.
About this print
With one hand raised to her mouth, a woman fills the middle of the picture. A yellow hairpin is tucked into her black hair, and she wears a pale blue kimono with an obi striped in yellow and brown. Large red shapes cut in at a slant on the left and at the lower right. At the upper right, a Western-style building with a tower and a row of houses are drawn in faint ink lines. At the upper left are a yellow cartouche and another with writing on it, and on the left, halfway down, there is a white one.
The title that goes with her reads "Yoshiwara, from Six Famous Places of Tokyo." After the great fire of 1657, Yoshiwara was moved from near Nihonbashi to the Senzoku area of Asakusa, and from then on it was called Shin-Yoshiwara (New Yoshiwara).
