"Wakoku", Okumura Masanobu, 1701, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Japanese and Korean Art
page from an illustrated book This print is a page from a two-volume book illustrating popular prostitutes in the city of Edo (present-day Tokyo). The woman's name "Wakoku" is inscribed near the right margin. Her crest, a butterfly within a floral medallion, further confirms her identity. Highly educated and cultured, ranking prostitutes were fashion leaders in the 18th and 19th centuries. Although the dramatic fashions sported by these exotic women were not readily adopted by the general populace, they did have an effect on fashion trends. The bold patterns shown here on Wakoku's kimono and sash reflect the style that came into vogue at the beginning of the 18th century. Size: 10 3/8 x 7 3/16 in. (26.4 x 18.3 cm) (image, sheet) 17 15/16 x 14 in. (45.5 x 35.5 cm) (mat, Size I) Medium: From a woodblock printed book; ink on paper
