In this second volume of Hotei Publishing's Famous Japanese Prints Series, three sets centred on the theme of the hours of the clock in the pleasure quarters are discussed in detail:
- Kitagawa Utamaro's 'The Twelve Hours of the 'Green Houses'' ('SeirŠjūnitoki', c. 1794)
- Tsukioka Yoshitoshi's 'Twenty-four Hours in Shinbashi and Yanagibashi' ('Shinryū nijūyoji', 1880-81)
- Toyohara Kunichika's 'Scenes of the Twenty-four Hours, A Prictorial Trope' ('Mitate chūya nijūyoji', 1890-91)
A contextual and visual analysis of these works by the authors provides the reader with an insight into the broader cultural and artistic milieu of the early and later nineteenth century.
