High ranking courtesans from New Yoshiwara District, Tokyo
High ranking prostitutes of the New Yoshiwara (Shin Yoshiwara) District, Tokyo, Japan. As can be seen on this card, the high-ranking ladies often dressed in the highest fashion of the time, with bright colourful silk kimonos and expensive and elaborate hair decorations. Fashion was so important in Yoshiwara that it frequently dictated the fashion trends for the rest of Japan
