Description Oiran ( 花魁 ) were courtesans in Japan. The word "oiran" is made of two Japanese words, 花 meaning "flower", and 魁 meaning "first." Oirans disappeared in the 18th century, but the tradition is still remembered.

I'm self-taught. I took 3-day sketch course once at the local community centre, but that's the only classes I took. Thanks for the compliment

As soon as I saw this image come through the club images I thought I knew the piece. Somehow this piece reminds me of you. I can't imagine why. Just lovely, like the artist herself!
