Notes |
The high-ranked courtesans of the Yoshiwara pleasure quarter were trained from an early age in many cultural accomplishments. Here a tea ceremony is interrupted by the arrival of the newly-published 'Seiro bijin-awase', a book of courtesan portraits by Haranobu (see below). (Label copy, TTC 1998) High-ranked Yoshiwara courtesans would often have a small tea room in their suite of apartments. Here the tea ceremony being performed is of a simple, intimate kind and the room is decorated with a rustic lattice over the window. The standing courtesan brings in a copy of the newly-published Seir bijin awase (Comparison of Yoshiwara Courtesans) by Harunobu, published in the 6th month, 1770. (Label copy, TTC 2001) |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
