Notes |
The most lavish colour prints of Yoshiwara courtesans ever published, they were originally planned as a series of one hundred designs in the large double-'oban' format. The courtesans depicted supplied samples of their elegant calligraphy which were then prinnted in facsimile above. After several individual sheets had been published in 1783, finally a total of seven designs were published in the format of a large folding album with printed preface and postscript. A major aim of artists and writers of the time was to display their knowledge of the intimate details of the life of the pleasure quarters (ugachi). (Label copy, TTC 1999) The most luxurious colour-printed album of a luxurious era, reproducing the actual writing of the high-ranked courtesans. (Label copy, TTC 1997) |

The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only.
