One Hundred Famous Views of Edo No.38Daybreak at licensed quarters
Yoshiwara prostitutes see their customers off through the main gate in the early morning while the men hide their faces with towels. The quarters were established after the shogunate decided to have the many unlicensed prostitutes in Edo operate in Yoshiwara on the city’s outskirts. The “yoshi” in Yoshiwara came from the reeds that grew in the area.

These simple yet stylish deep brown wooden frames blend perfectly into any interior.
Since ukiyo-e have unusual aspect ratios, putting them in off-the-shelf frames often results in an unnatural balance between the margins and the print.
Our special ukiyo-e frames allow you to display your prints beautifully as soon as they arrive.
These frames can be used vertically or horizontally by simply repositioning the cord, making it easy to display different prints. And since they use light yet durable acrylic instead of glass, transportation is a stress-free experience.
