Japan Samurais and Beauties in the 19th century, Edo and Meiji eras サムライ･美女

Japanese samurais here, many of whom had been young, low-ranking in
rural domains, played a key role in carrying through the Meiji
Restoration. These imageries were made mostly in period around Boshin
civil war of 1868, and so were Japanese beauties as well as
maikos/geishas in the same period.
