Description
Two beautiful young ladies are sitting on either side of a koto instrument. The lady on the right is putting on finger picks for playing the instrument, and the other woman is browsing a music book titled ‘Collection of pieces for koto.’
The row of bridges placed under the strings of the koto create the appearance of descending geese.
Behind the sliding door we get a glimpse of flowering tree branches. As this tree looks like a bush clover this must be an autumn scene.
As with other prints in this series Harunobu carefully drew many details - delicate kimono patterns, grain of the koto instrument, finger shape and so on.
