Drawn from the series "Twenty-Four Hours at Shinyanagi" (Shinyanagi nijuyoji), this 1880 print captures a scene at the 11 p.m. hour in one of Edo's celebrated pleasure districts. Yoshitoshi's depictions of geisha and courtesans in this series are notable for their psychological intimacy rather than mere decorative appeal, each figure caught in a quiet, private moment that suggests the tedium and loneliness beneath the glamour of the floating world. The late-night hour lends the composition a hushed, melancholy atmosphere.
