Mirror of Yoshiwara Beauties (Seirō bijin awase sugata kagami)
A Japanese woodblock picture book from 1776 by Torii Kiyonaga, printed in Edo for a townsman readership, showing courtesans and women of the Yoshiwara pleasure quarter. The pages are double-spread compositions of seated and standing women in interiors with sliding screens, and a designer can take from them the flat colour fields, bold kimono patterns, and asymmetric framing of ukiyo-e.
