Shinmachi
Utagawa Yoshiume
ca. 1848-54
A humorous print from the series Comical Views of Famous Places in Osaka, depicting a procession of high-ranking courtesans in Shinmachi pleasure district disrupted by three fighting stray dogs. The scene captures the moment chaos erupts, as a courtesan and her kamuro are knocked off their feet, her tall clog flying into the air as she falls backwards.
