The Courtesan Takigawa of Ogiya (from the series A Selection of Beautiful Women
The Courtesan Takigawa of Ogiya (from the series A Selection of Beautiful Women of the East), c. 1798. The courtesan Takigawa worked for the Ogiya, " House of Fans" brothel, one of the most prestigious in the Yoshiwara. Here, she smokes tobacco, a fashionable trend in 18th-century Edo. Fashion-conscious women in Edo purchased prints of the most famous beauties just as contemporary women buy fashion magazines to learn about the latest styles in make-up and hair. The strands of hair at her temple were printed from thin pieces of wood left in relief when the areas on either side of them were carved away
