Exhibit caption: Seasonal themes were popular with ukiyo-e (literally 'pictures of the floating world') artists of the Edo Period (1600-1868) whose images often reflected the life of the pleasure quarters in Edo, now Tokyo. With her ornamented hairstyle and obi tied in front, the gorgeously-attired woman on the left is recognizable as an oiran or high-ranking courtesan. Close behind her stands a young attendant called a kamuro. The woman on the right, also an apprentice courtesan with her obi tied in front, speaks to the oiran while kneeling and with both hands on the red carpet in a gesture of respect to her senior.
