Japan: 'The Hour of the Tiger'-Tora no koku< / i>-(c. 4am-6am). Utamaro Kitagawa (1753-1806), c. 1794-1795.

During the Edo period (1603 - 1868), the Japanese clock was divided into twelve units of time, or ‘hours’, with each one named after one of the zodiacal symbols of the lunar calendar, and with the day being divided up into six daytime hours and six night-time hours. This woodblock print is taken from Kitagawa Utamaro's 1794-1795 <i>ukiyo-e</i> series 'Twelve Hours of the Green Rooms', sometimes styled 'Twelve Hours of the Yoshiwara', featuring everyday events in the lives of courtesans in Edo's Yoshiwara pleasure district. The Hour of the Tiger is around four o’clock in the morning. Feeling hungry, a courtesan cooks a light snack on a brazier. She warms her shoulders with the coat of her client. Another courtesan also awake, joins her in moment of intimacy and friendly conversation.
