The Courtesan Takihime and Attendants (from the series New Patterns of Young Greens), 1795
The Courtesan Takihime and Attendants (from the series New Patterns of Young Greens), 1795. The designs on Takihimes outer robe describes fragments of scenery--bridge, castle, wind-filled sails amidst clouds--while her attendants robes are more conventionally decorated with scattered flowers. The tassels on their sleeves were worn only by young girls. All three wear the triple-fan crest of the Ogiya (" House of Fans" ) tea house on the shoulders of their kimono. The cartouche in the upper-right corner of the print identifies the series title and time of year. It is New Year s, the same season depicted in Engetsudos scroll Courtesan and Attendants (see 1985.255). Courtesans strolling through the streets with their attendants were common sights during evening hours in the Yoshiwara
