The Courtesan Nanakoshi of the Ōgiya Brothel, from the series “A Pat-tern Book of the Year’s First Designs, Fresh as Spring Herbs” (“Hinagata wakana no hatsu moyō”)

The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print with a beige background. Three women are shown wearing kimonos and high hairstyles. The woman on the left sits on the floor; she wears a pink kimono with white polka dots and a black and gold obi. Her hair is styled in a bun and adorned with a red and orange headpiece. The woman on the right stands; she wears a gray kimono with orange and yellow designs. The woman in the middle sits on the floor; she wears a gray kimono. The woman on the left holds a small object in her right hand. The women appear to be in an interior setting; a tall orange object resembling a wooden pillar or stack of boxes stands behind them. Japanese characters are written vertically on the left and right sides of the image and a signature appears in the bottom-left corner. The women's kimonos and hairstyles suggest they are from the 18th century. The image features a range of colors including pink, orange, yellow, gray, and black.
