Famous courtesans and their assistants in Shin Yoshiwara. The good-time amusement area of Yoshiwara of Edo (modern day Tokyo) is alive and colorfully blooming with the cherry blossoms and "Taiyu" (first ranking courtesan) accompanied by their "kamuro" (young courtesan apprentice) parade boldly along the main street of Yoshiwara. All in full bloom.
