"Hinagata Wakana no Hatsumoyo" (Models for Fashion: New Designs as Fresh as Young Leaves) is a celebrated two-volume woodblock printed book by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Isoda Koryūsai, published between 1780 and 1781. Koryūsai, originally a samurai, became one of the leading print designers of his time, particularly known for his bijinga (pictures of beautiful women) and shunga (erotic prints). This work is significant as it showcases the sophisticated fashion and textiles of the Edo period, reflecting the tastes and styles of the time.

The volumes contain a series of prints that depict young women, often courtesans or fashion icons of the Yoshiwara pleasure district, dressed in the latest kimonos with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. Each figure is presented with an emphasis on elegance and grace, capturing the beauty standards and cultural ideals of the period. The prints also serve as a historical record of the textiles and clothing trends of the Edo period, providing valuable insights into the craftsmanship and design sensibilities of the time.

"Hinagata Wakana no Hatsumoyo" is notable for its artistic quality and its influence on the genre of fashion illustration in Japanese art. Koryūsai's work is characterized by a delicate and refined line work, as well as a keen eye for detail and composition. The series is also an example of the artist's mastery of the nishiki-e technique, a multi-colored woodblock printing method that was developed during the 1760s and allowed for a richer and more nuanced color palette.

As a significant contribution to the ukiyo-e tradition, "Hinagata Wakana no Hatsumoyo" is not only a testament to Isoda Koryūsai's skill as an artist but also an important document of cultural and historical value. It remains a subject of study for scholars interested in Japanese art, fashion, and society during the Edo period.
