A Collection of
Flowers―Beautiful Women Compared
(Hana awase tôsei bijin awase, 花合 當世美人合)
Publisher: Kawaguchi-ya Chôzô
c. 1830s

This series likens contemporary beauties to different flowers. It is not listed in Kuniyoshi by Basil William Robinson (Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 1961). The prints are each about 14 by 10 inches (36 by 25 centimeters), a size known as ôban. I am grateful to Ward Pieters for assisting with this series. |
