Yoshiwara street at night. Kunisada, Utagawa (Japanese, 1786-1864). Colour print from woodblocks, with metallic pigment, for the poem and white pigment for the stars. Shikishiban format surimono. Printer's seal: Ryûsai Chimata (Inô Naojirô). Poet: Danjûrô Emba. Circa 1819. This view shows the main street in the official Yoshiwara pleasure district at the first hint of dawn, with a departing customer conversing with a woman at an upper window, her face lit by the light of a lamp. He wears a black hood to disguise his identity as he leaves on his way to the Nihon Embankment, which separated the Yoshiwara from the city of Edo (Tokyo). Kunisada's signature appears on the street lamp.
