Nishikawa Sukenobu’s Yūjo to Tsukai Inu Asobi (Courtesan and Attendant Playing with a Dog, c. 1720) depicts a courtesan and her maid gently teasing a small dog. Sukenobu was known for his refined depictions of women’s lives. His work helped define early 18th-century ukiyo-e and inspired later artists. Bring this delightful moment of Edo life into your style.
