COURTESAN USUGUMO Japanese Art Print

Text on the tag: Portrait of the courtesan Usugumo by the artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1753-1806). The Japanese word for the highest ranked courtesan is “oiran”. It is debated how this name came about, but one theory comes from how the girls working for them would call them “oira no tokoro no nee-san”, which shortened became a word “oiran”. The sentence translates as “the older sisters of our place.”. * Conservation acid-free board included * Delivered packed ready for retail * Luxury pearlescent eco-certified paper * Produced in our London studio * Trivia fact on each tag * GS1 barcode for POS Dimensions: A3 - L16.50 inch, W12.00 inch, H0.00 inch A4 - L12.00inch, W8.00 inch, H0.00inch Weight in grams: A3 - 180 A4 - 90
