About the Item
A wonderfully intricate woodblock by the 18th Century Japanese artist. Torii Kiyonaga. The scene shows two geisha strolling together around Tanaka Castle (as stated in the inscription, upper left) under a parasol with their lady in waiting following behind. The geisha have wonderfully elaborate yakata and kimono, tied with richly patterned obi belts. The number of wooden hairpins denotes their high rank as woman of society.Â
This scene is from Kiyonaga's series entitled "Mirror Of Women's Customs" and was a portrait of high class women of the period. The series was published circa 1788.
The woodblock is presented in a contemporary silvered frame with white card mount.
