"Scene light district of Yoshiwara" is a woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai, a renowned Japanese artist known for his ukiyo-e prints. This artwork, currently housed in the Guimet Museum, Paris, depicts a scene of daily life in the Yoshiwara district, a famous red-light district in Edo (present-day Tokyo). The print captures the bustling atmosphere of the district, with several figures, including two women in elaborate kimonos and men in traditional attire, interacting within the setting of traditional Japanese architecture. Hokusai's use of vibrant colors, intricate details, and skillful composition adds depth and character to this vivid portrayal of life in Yoshiwara.
