Beautiful women of the oiran offered an attractive subject for artists dealing with Japanese wood engravings; it peaked in the Edo epoch (1603–1868). Elusiveness and passing, so strongly featured in the philosophy of this period, made people seize the current moment and celebrate the joy stemming from watching flowers or admiring the Moon.

Yosooi, famous for both beauty and noble manners at the time, was portrayed and immortalised by the connoisseur of female beauty, Kitagawa Utamaro, and, somehow in spite of the manifest of the epoch, effectively resists the lapse of time.
