KAIGETSUDO ANDO. Standing Courtesan

Standing Courtesan. Artist: Kaigetsudo Ando (Japanese, ca. 1671-1743). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Image: 40 15/16 × 16 5/8 in. (104 × 42.2 cm)
Overall with mounting: 44 7/8 × 20 1/2 in. (114 × 52 cm). Date: early 18th century.
A courtesan, statuesque and regal in pose, has paused her procession to glance back, perhaps to acknowledge an admirer. Kaigetsudo Ando was the founder of a studio of artists that produced woodblock prints and paintings of the high-ranking women of the demimonde. Here a poem card (shikishi) is inscribed with a poem attributed to Sarumaru Dayu (active late 8th century) that was made famous through its inclusion in One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets (Hyakunin isshu): 
Oku yama ni 
momiji fumi-wake 
naku shika no 
koe kiku toki zo 
aki wa kanashiki 

Deep in the mountains,
traipsing through leaves,
a deer cries for its mate--
when I hear that sound,
it's autumn at its saddest.
--Trans. John T. Carpenter.
