Designer: Tsukioka Yoshitoshi Era: Meiji | Currency: $ / £ / € Price: ![]() Description: During the Muromachi period (1336-1573), a beautiful woman called Otoboshi was kidnapped by bandits on Nyoi Mountain. Due to her beauty, the bandits sold her to a brothel in the red-light district of Osaka as a courtesan. She believed that her misfortune came from not observing the precepts of Buddhism in a previous life, and started calling herself jigoku ("hell"), wearing a kimono illustrated with images of hell, repeating the name of Buddha in her head, and singing poetry. She thus became known as Jigoku-tayu, the "hell courtesan". ![]() ![]() Browse thumbnail pages of various selections from the catalogue ...
