Légende

Tsukasa and Other Courtesans of the Ogiya Watching the Autumn Moon Rise Over Rice Fields from a Balcony in the Yoshiwara, 1799. Gomeiro is another name for the fashionable teahouse Ogi-ya (House of Fans) in the Yoshiwara district of Edo (present-day Tokyo). Two courtesans, each attended by a geisha and a shinzo (apprentice to a courtesan) view a full autumn moon as it rises over the surrounding paddy fields. The elegance of the women's flowing robes and the serenity of the evening with a full silver moon contribute to the poetic atmosphere of this surimono , a privately commissioned print usually accompanied by text?here, a poem, which reads: What liveliness! Geisha, shinzo, and jesters fill the room, all guests of the moon.
