Japan: 'White Clothing on the First Day of the Eighth Month in the New Yoshiwara in Edo'. Ukiyo-e print from a triptych by Utagawa Kunisada (1786 - 12 January 1865), 1822. Utagawa Kunisada, also known by Utagawa Toyokuni III, was a Japanese artist from the Edo period. Considered one of the most popular, prolific and successful ukiyo-e designers of his time, his reputation far outshone those of his contemporaries such as Hokusai, Hiroshige and Kuniyoshi.
