The Courtesan Hanaogi of the Ogiya and her attendant, from the series "Fans of the East (Azuma ogi)"

Isoda Koryusai

Date: c. 1777/78
Medium: Color woodblock print; bai aiban
Culture: Japan
Department: Arts of Asia
Institution: Art Institute of Chicago

Hanaōgi was a famous courtesan of the Ōgiya brothel. She is depicted often in Japanese prints, but her appearance here is especially apt, since “Hanaōgi” translates to “floral fan” and “Ōgiya” to “house of fans.” Fans of the East was a popular series, and 23 designs by three different artists are known to have survived, all dating from the late 1770s and early 1780s.
