Ronin Gallery is pleased to present a selection of designs from Harunobu’s Beauties of the Green Houses Compared (Ehon Seiro Bijin Awase, 1770). Considered a masterpiece of early color printing, Harunobu compares the many beauties of Edo’s Yoshiwara. Each portrait presents an elegant courtesan, introducing her by name and house along with a brief poetic phrase. From music to calligraphy, card games to smoking sets, Harunobu’s designs nod to the talents and pastimes of these stars of the floating world.
