Made during Japan's prolific years of artistic production and cultural, social, economic, and political change, these exceptional woodblock prints, eight in total, depict a series of beautiful female figures, in sumptuous garments and dresses, in idyllic Japanese settings and engaged in the pleasures of aristocratic lifestyle.
