The Tayü (leading courtesan) Michiharu of the brothel Tsutaya is depicted in a procession with three attendants. An inscription reading “White garments of the eighth month” suggests that it is summertime, which is exceptional for the series. As in the other prints from this famous series, the töröbin hairstyle of the beauties helps date the series to the second half of the 1770s. The obi (sash) shows the gorgeous design of a peacock. This series represents the pinnacle of Koryüsai’s artistic achievement. (from "VOGUE in Japan: Edo Fashion through Japanese prints" exhibition 07/30/08-)
