Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni III)

In the first years of the 1820th´s this series is one of the largest sets of beauty prints that Kunisada had so far designed.
S. Izaards wrote on this series: "Twenty-one subjects are known, comprising portraits of geisha, low-class prostitutes, and courtesans from different parts of Edo. Women of the Yoshiwara are not among them, because the series features those restaurants where only unlicensed prostiitutes were available".
The "Kunisada Project" meanwhile lists 42 prints.
