Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni III)

In the first years of the 1820s this series is one of the largest sets of beauty prints that Kunisada had so far designed.
S. Izaard 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 prostitutes were available".
The "Kunisada Project" meanwhile lists 43 prints.
