In the Yoshiwara District 1767 - 1799

"In the Yoshiwara District" is a *surimono* print by the renowned Japanese artist Isoda Koryūsai, created between 1767 and 1799. This work, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, depicts a woman in a traditional kimono, standing in front of a latticed structure. The use of delicate lines and soft colors is characteristic of Koryūsai's style, contributing to the *surimono's* elegant and refined aesthetic. This *surimono* provides a glimpse into the social and cultural life of Edo-period Japan, specifically the Yoshiwara District, which was known for its entertainment and red-light districts.
