"Hinagata Wakana no Hatsumoyo" (Models for Fashion: New Designs as Fresh as Young Leaves) is a renowned series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints created by the Japanese artist Isoda Koryūsai during the Edo period. The series, produced between 1778 and 1781, is considered one of Koryūsai's masterpieces and is highly regarded for its artistic and historical significance. Koryūsai, originally a samurai, became one of the leading ukiyo-e artists after moving to Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and was particularly known for his bijinga (pictures of beautiful women) and shunga (erotic prints).

The specific print "Shirayu" (White Hot Spring) from this series, created in 1780-81, depicts a scene of women at a hot spring, a common subject in ukiyo-e that reflects the leisurely pursuits and beauty of the Yoshiwara pleasure district. The print is characterized by its delicate lines, subtle use of color, and the intricate patterns of the women's kimono, which were designed to reflect the latest fashion trends of the time.

Koryūsai's work in "Hinagata Wakana no Hatsumoyo" is notable for its influence on the development of the full-color nishiki-e prints and for capturing the cultural milieu of the Edo period. His prints not only served as fashion guides but also provided a glimpse into the lives of the courtesans and city dwellers of the time. Koryūsai was awarded the title of hokkyo, a rank in the Buddhist hierarchy, which was reflected in his signature on his prints following the award. His contribution to ukiyo-e and Japanese art history is significant, and "Shirayu" stands as a testament to his skill in portraying the elegance and transient beauty of the floating world.
