Notes |
Hillier and Smith 1980 Acknowledged as one of the outstanding illustrated books of the world. The 'Green Houses' were the great establishments of courtesans in Edo. Although some have seen Shigemasa's hand in the spring and autumn pictures and Shunsho's in the remainder, the two artists, as was often the case in collaborative works of this nature, contrived to give a surprising uniformity to the style throughout, and there is far from universal agreement on the division mentioned. Literature: Brown, Louise Norton, 'Block Printing and Book Illustration in Japan', London and New York, 1924, pp. 148 and 161.

[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. ![]() |
