In the previous print courtesans are on view inside a teahouse; here, in another leaf from the same album, the situation is reversed. Clients in a teahouse watch the courtesans parade along a street accompanied by servants and child attendants. The courtesans walk self-consciously and at a dignified pace as they pass by their admirers. In a delightful visual effect, Moronobu draws our attention to these observers by framing them in windows while partially obscuring them with bamboo blinds. We share in their pleasure of seeing without being seen.Free picture The Twelfth Scene from Scenes of the Pleasure Quarter at Yoshiwara in Edo integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
