Shunsho was the leading producer of actor prints in the last quarter of the eighteenth century. Shigemasa, a less well-known artist, collaborated with Shunsho on this series in 1776. While Shunsho's images of women are more modest and quaint than those of Utamaro, they are similar enough to suggest that they may have influenced Utamaro's sericulture series, or at least that there may have been a common source for both artists. During the Edo period some courtesans became celebrities, famous for their glamorous beauty and elaborately fashionable dress. A Mirror of Beautiful Women of the Green Houses showed leading courtesans from important houses going about their daily activities in attractive poses.
