- Caption label from exhibit "Sakura": Springtime in Edo. Seasonal themes were popular with ukiyo-e (literally "pictures of the floating world") artists of the Edo Period (1600-1868) whose images often reflected the life of the pleasure quarters in Edo, now Tokyo. With her ornamented hairstyle and obi tied in front, the gorgeously-attired woman on the left is recognizable as an oiran or high-ranking courtesan. Close behind her stands a young attendant called a kamuro. The woman on the right, also an apprentice courtesan with her obi tied in front, speaks to the oiran while kneeling and with both hands on the red carpet in a gesture of respect to her senior.
- Title and other descriptive information compiled by Nichibunken-sponsored Edo print specialists in 2005-2006.
