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 theater and pleasure districts in the city of Edo, now Tokyo. The tall, slender beauties in Kiyonaga's image echo its elongated format. Such images, called hashira-e or 'pillar pictures', were ideal for display on pillars in architectural spaces.
