Courtesan Dreaming of her Childhood, c. 1770. Creator: Suzuki Harunobu (Japanese, 1724-1770)

Courtesan Dreaming of her Childhood, c. 1770. This print depicts a courtesan dreaming about the time she was taken from her family to become a courtesan. The man leading the girl by the hand is probably escorting her to the Yoshiwara, the entertainment district in Edo. This format is called a pillar print, or hashira-e (literally, " pillar picture" ). It is made by pasting two sheets together vertically to form a long, narrow picture, often hung as a decoration on the narrow support posts of the interior of Japanese houses
