Vintage Japanese art is an enchanting world that takes us back to an era when beauty, elegance and tradition were at the heart of everyday life.

Among these art forms, images of courtesans, women dressed in beautiful kimono's, occupy a special place. These images show a fascinating picture of cultural and social life in historical Japan.

The courtesans, or 'oiran', were women of great beauty and refinement, who lived in the pleasure districts of Japan. They were masters of the arts, poetry, music and the tea ceremony, making them admired not only for their looks but also for their intellect and cultural knowledge.

The kimono's worn by these women were true works of art, rich in colour and detail, often decorated with symbolic patterns representing the seasons, nature or certain mythical stories.

They not only bring colour and depth to a room, but also a piece of cultural heritage that highlights Japan's rich history and traditions.

Whether it is the sophisticated portrait of a courtesan, understated in her beauty, or the vibrant scene of a traditional festival, each piece tells its own story and invites the viewer to delve into the intriguing world of vintage Japanese art.
