The Japanese term mitate-e means images in which one thing is substituted—or stands in—for another. Artists deployed this visual device to engaging effect in 18th- and 19th-century paintings and prints known as ukiyo-e, or “pictures of the floating world,” a euphemism for licensed “pleasure” districts. Some of these depictions, as well as a contemporary feminist take on them, appear in the current installation of the Kelvin and Eleanor Smith Foundation Galleries of Japanese Art (235A–B).
