Description

This elegantly crafted book, titled 百人女姿 (Hyakunin Onna Sugata), or "One Hundred Female Figures," is a limited-edition masterpiece profiling the lives and allure of Edo Period courtesans from Imamachi. Subtitled 坂田御贔屓今町女妓集 (Sakata Gohiiki Imamachi Nyōjishū), it offers a richly detailed exploration of these iconic women, capturing their cultural significance and role in Edo society. With only 500 copies of this rare edition in existence worldwide, it is a highly exclusive and collectible piece. The book’s brocade-style cover is adorned in luxurious gold and green patterns, with a bold red vertical title inscription that enhances its elegance. Inside, the book features vivid and meticulously rendered illustrations of courtesans in traditional attire, showcasing their beauty, grace, and the refined fashion of the Edo period. Each illustration is accompanied by poetic or literary text that provides insight into their world and the social context of the time. As a limited-edition work, this book stands as a tribute to Edo-period artistry and cultural history. Its exquisite design, rarity, and rich portrayal of the courtesans’ lives make it a timeless artifact and a prized addition to any collection of Japanese art and literature.
