Utagawa Kunisada
Dancing in the Bizenya from Furuichi in Ise from the series »Famous Restaurants in the Provinces«, um 1822
About the object
In a room of the restaurant Bizenya in the city of Ise we see the three stages involved in preparing a courtesan for her work. At first she awakens from sleep, dresses herself for the evening, and finally she is ready, while in the next room a dance performance is already taking place. The same restaurant can be seen in V/2039 viewed from a different perspective.
