The Edo Yoshiwara: A World of Cherry Blossoms and Illusion ππΈ Because the cherry blossoms were planted only in March, the Yoshiwara created a luxurious, fictional world that was far removed from everyday life. πThis non - everyday world was loved by many commoners in Edo, and people who came to Edo from other places would visit Yoshiwara. The anticipation and astonishment of Yoshiwara were depicted by many ukiyo - e artists. ππΈ Publishers like Tobiya Shigoro and cultural figures were active in Yoshiwara. πΈ πThe Yoshiwara pleasure district of Edo no longer exists in modern times, and it will never reappear. This exhibition historically verifies the culture and art of the lost Yoshiwara pleasure district of Edo. ππΈ It includes many famous works from home and abroad, including pieces from the Wordsworth Athenaeum and the British Museum. The exhibition brings us closer to the full picture of that world. π¨π π #Art Exhibition #Must - See Exhibition Recommendations
