Summary

Description

A high class prostitute (oiran) and her entourage dressed to parade in Tokyo's Yoshiwara district. The two smaller lanterns (chochin) on the left read Kadoebi, short for Kadoebiya, one of the Yoshiwara's best known brothels. The character on the large lantern reads Murasaki (purple), probably part of the prostitute's name.

Item is a photographic glass-plate transparency; part of a set of colour-tinted transparencies depicting life in Japan ca. 1910, including scenery, street scenes, workers, farming, fishing, silk production, stone carvers, wood carvers, metal workers, potters, and artists.
