Hasui's Selection of Dolls (Hasui Ningo Gashu) (Former Title)

Isho ningyo or “fashion dolls” emerged in the late 17th century during the Edo period as Japan’s economy flourished. These dolls originally depicted beautiful women or famous actors, but their styling changed as did society’s fads and fashions. Isho ningyo came to represent various subjects and styles from all walks of dynamic Edo society. This print depicts a long-haired boy in a warrior costume.
