Here, Hiroshige depicts people who might interact on a typical night during cherry blossom season in Yoshiwara, one of the Edo’s licensed pleasure quarters. Notably, an oiran, or high-ranking sex worker, wears an orange gown and is accompanied by her young attendants, as a possible suitor in a black haori coat looks over his shoulder at her. (RR)
