Japanese Oiran Courtesan Kimono Hairstyle Folding Screen Vtg. Photo 19thC.
This quality reprint of a vintage photo shows a Japanese woman dressed as an Oiran, a high-ranking courtesan, poses for a studio portrait. She wears an elaborate kimono, a large obi tied in the front, and a complex hairstyle with many hairpins. Oiran were entertainers and cultural icons in Japan's pleasure districts, known for their skills in traditional arts. Though their peak was in the Edo period, their traditions and style continued into the Meiji era when this photo was likely taken.
