In Japanese history and culture, the Oiran (title of the painting by the painter Midori McCabi) are figures similar to courtesans and are considered yūjo, or “women of pleasure” or high-ranking prostitutes of ancient Japan. The painting is dominated by intense red to symbolize the red Kimono worn by the Oiran, a vibrant and passionate color that represents the love, beauty and sensuality of the female figure. The black brushstrokes instead create a dramatic contrast alluding to the mystery and ambiguity of the position of courtesan.
The “Oiran” stole is a refined and eye-catching fashion accessory. The high-quality print faithfully reproduces the details and vibrant colors of the original painting. It pairs perfectly with an elegant or casual outfit and is an ideal gift for lovers of Japanese art and culture.
