Courtesan and her Attendants under a Willow Tree 1796 Unch A high-ranking courtesan (oiran), accompanied by her teenage apprentice (shinz) and two child attendants (kamuro), promenade beneath a weeping willow in the spring. While the identity of the artist who signs himself “Unch” has yet to be determined, we may assume that he received his art name from the ukiyo-e artist Katsukawa Shunch. The two inscribers of the poetry above, Kyden and Bakin, are among the greatest popular writers of the day. They have both added Chinese and Japanese poetic phrases referring to the Yoshiwara pleasure quarters. Kyden uses metaphors of willow trees and flowers; Bakin quotes a Chinese poem and then likens a courtesan to a thousand-armed Kannon bodhisattava in the service of men.. Courtesan and her Attendants under a Willow Tree. Unch (Japanese, active late 18th century). Japan. 1796. Hanging scroll; ink, color, and gold on silk. Edo period (1615-1868). Paintings
